Synopsis
Excerpt from The Substitute Prisoner
The question, darting swiftly through his mind as his eyes took in the unfamiliar out line of her figure, produced a storm of agita tion which left him gazing stupidly at her, with fixed eyes in which surprise and terror mingled.
He had never seen her before - his first moment of survey impressed that clearly on him. Yet her presence in his home at this compromising hour signified that she was involved, remotely or intimately, in his own tangled affairs. The thought impelled him to closer scrutiny of her.
