CHAPTER NINE

THAT night, when Helen went down to dinner, a surprise awaited her. Valerie was sitting in the drawing-room, wearing a very smart if slightly dated dinner-dress, and turning over the pages of a magazine in very much the same manner as a patient in a doctor’s waiting-room, not fully concentrating but waiting for the door to open.

When it did open, and Helen stood there, she looked up with a flashing smile of delight in her eyes.

“You’re surprised?” she said. “Yes, I can see you are.” She flung the magazine across the room, permitting it to land in the middle of the carpet, in close proximity to a small inlaid table that had a bowl of flowers standing on it ... and the bowl was a very choice example of early Chinese pottery. Then she rose, stretched herself like a cat prepared to enjoy a saucer of cream, and walked up to Helen and started to examine her quite uninhibitedly from top to toe.
