It was uncomfortable work, this thinking. Dr. Mackenzie stood up, and shook off his mood, "It must be ten-time" So he want out, and into the parlant, to be free from himself.
There was Gregory King, sitting in his arm- chair, M. Brown opposite, and Peter Wong standing near the door, like a shy schoolboy, Dr. Mackenaic biting his nails forlously. walked to the fire-end of the room, and naked Mrs. Brown for a cup of tea.
He was not half through it when Maggie's voice sounded close by.
"Here is your picture, Mr. King, I have quite fioished with it."
The doctor turned round with a start. Mrs. Brown nearly dropped the teapot. And Peter Wong walked up and looked over Gregory King's shoulder at the mysterious bit of paper.

"Very like you, Miss Brown " he continued, as if the likeness had just struck him. "Don't you think so, Dr. Mackenzie ?"
Dr. Mackenzie's curiosity had already been aroused. He looked eagerly, though silently, at the picture.

Mrs. Brown's voice was very stern. There was clearly a domestic storm ahead.

It doesn't matter to me where she got it. Miss Brown has given it to me now-and I mean to keep it."

Maggie walked out of the room, went upstairs, took the three missing books from their hiding place (among her stockings), and thrusting the little picture into her pocket, regardless of crumpling it, went down to Dr. Mackenzle's study.
"Come in
The voice sounded irritable. Dr. Mackenzie had waited a good hour over his search.
#Here are your books. I took them to read." What made Maggie so bold? Her voice sounded quite strange to her cars, so brave was It, But her hand was shaking as she put down the guilly three on the table close to the doctor.
He turned on her in speechless astonishment, but in astonishment that had not one trace of anger likt.

Could it be that he was mistaken in her after woman, with no regard for modesty in her desire for flattery?
Impossible, quite impossible. Dr. Mackensle had never been mistaken in his estimate of character before. Appearances were undoubtedly against her, but there was an explanation some- where. He nudged Peter Wong, and whispered to him a word of advice. Not to speak, but to go out of the room. The doctor felt he could defend Maggle, if it were necessary to do so, better in his absence.
But Peter Wong did not, or would not, hear the words. And Gregory King in the meanwhile rolled up the picture, put it in his pocket, and said:
"Well, I must be off. Many thanks again, Miss Brown."
Good-bye, Mr. King. I hope you won't find it more damaged than it was when you gave it to me.

Here he stopped short. Maggle's eyes were looking at him with such a hurt expression, at least to be fancied, that the tender-hearted doctor realised all of a sudden that he had touched on some tender place.
