be very hungry with all this road travelled…”
“Thank you so much indeed”, replied very gratefully
M. Stuart.

was eating listening M.Steadman’s words, he felt a
very bad feeling spread though all his body. There
was a portrait hung on the wall in front of him, and

haunted his memory during all the road, he did not
stop to think about her and her husband.
