In the street Mark met Saunders, but this time it was the agent who wanted to talk.
"How did you like the Padre?" he began.
"Splendid. Thank you for the meeting."
"Did you see the lady who went in?"
"Yes; I was introduced."
"Introduced? Never!"
"Why not?"
"Well," the agent was confused, "I don't see why not after all. Did you see her face?"
"She had on a veil."
"Of course; she always has. She was the woman who passed us on the bluff road."
"You saw her, then?"
"Yes, I saw her; but not close enough to know whether--"
"What?"
"I think she is someone I know. Are you coming back to the hotel?"
