If her *ather was in real danger, the obâ€" vious thing was to go to Scotland Yard. He would do it himself. As tre thought crossed his mind, he looked toward the door. She appearca to understand.

But, although the words were utterâ€" ed with spirited determination, the only reply she could make was to shake her head. "Come inside and shut the door," said Crane.
