Luke Maddison sat in his little room in Ginnett Street, his head upon his hands, his mind a great confusion. Mrs Fraser had not been in the shop parlour when he passed through, and was apparently unconscious of his return. But this was not the fact, he discovered, when, a quarter of an hour afterwards, she came in with a cup of tea.
He had the feeling that she was well aware of what had happened that afternoon, although she made no reference to his terrifying adventure until she seemed at the point of departure. "Connor says that the only danger is that some of the Lewing mob may put up a squeak."
