Mrs. Mitcham, not expecting her mistress back till Monday, went on that Saturday to visit a friend in Camden Town, and when she came back soon after nine was surprised to find Miss Virginia's husband on the mat outside the door of the flat ringing the bell. He, of all people, should know her mistress wasn't there, thought Mrs. Mitcham, seeing that it was in Miss Virginia's house she was staying.
The carpet on the stairs was thick, and Mrs. Mitcham arrived at Stephen's side unnoticed. He was absorbed in ringing. He rang and rang.
