Although the footman at the front door of Glentower had assured the intruder that Mr. Heronspey saw nobody, Beaucaire pushed his way carelessly in with a splendid audacity that fairly overawed the man in livery. It had just the touch-and-go situation that Beaucaire enjoyed.
He did not even wait for the footman's return, but followed quietly behind to the very door of the library itself. When he heard Heronspey speak, he brushed the footman aside and advanced with outstretched hand. The fact that his hand was ignored did not trouble him in the least. He merely smiled.
