"Shall I keep the appointment?" Lady Vera asks herself many times that day. A certain doubt and dread hovers intangibly in her mind. Will she really obtain the lost memorandum-book, or is it only some trap her enemies have set for her? She longs to consult Sir Harry and Lady Clive, but the warning of the writer deters her.
