CHAPTER XXIV.
Tea was over. Tom and Stat lander had come out promptly. Rosie had been sent to summon Marvin, still upstairs after Linda's unexpected glimpse of him, and Shaughnerney had appeared in bland good humour before she had time to dispatch anyone to notify him. The little ceremony, simple ng it was, had stendled Linda's nerves and enabled her, while line tening to the talk of others to formulate her own thoughts.
