An hour later--on the stroke of one, to be precise--a powerful motor car was racing out of London, with Dick at the wheel and Mrs. Tremby beside him. Shortly after Miss Spine's departure Jossy had telephoned to Winter square, only to learn that Audrey and her brother had already left the house to catch the midday express from Liverpool street. Bollard was expecting them at his country house, but Mrs. Tremby would have prevented their going had it been possible, if only to disarrange Randolph's vindictive plans. But it was too late, so nothing remained but to follow and see what would be the result of the scoundrel's machinations. Having wired to Tarr that he was off duty for the day, he and Jossy started as soon as possible.
"Do you think we shall be in time?" asked Mrs. Tremby, while the car whizzed along in the hot sunshine. "We must get there before Helder arrives."
