When Doctor Malsano and Gilda Tempest had so mysteriously and suddenly disappeared from the Hotel Royal, at Nice, Raife Remington received a note on the following morning. It was a characteristic note, and quite unsatisfactory. It merely served to add to the state of his mental perturbation. He could not, and would not, believe aught that was ill of the beautiful girl whom he loved with all the fire of his strong nature.
The note ran: "My uncle and I have been called away on business suddenly. Will you present our regrets and apologies to Lady Remington?"
