vf2-01 Meanwhile I'll go out to breathe a spell
vf2-02 How could he explain his possession of the sketch
vf2-03 It seemed nearer to him since he had seen and talked with Gregson
vf2-04 Her own betrayal of herself was like tonic to Philip
vf2-05 He moved away as quietly as he had come
vf2-06 The girl faced him, her eyes shining with sudden fear
vf2-07 Close beside him gleamed the white fangs of the wolf-dog
vf2-08 He looked at the handkerchief more, closely
vf2-09 Gregson was asleep when he re-entered the cabin
vf2-10 In spite of their absurdity the words affected Philip curiously
vf2-11 The lace was of a delicate ivory color, faintly tinted with yellow
vf2-12 It was a curious coincidence
vf2-13 Suddenly his fingers closed tightly over the handkerchief
vf2-14 There was nothing on the rock
vf2-15 Philip stood undecided, his ears strained to catch the slightest sound
vf2-16 Pearce's little eyes were fixed on him shrewdly
vf2-17 I have no idea, replied Philip
vf2-18 I came for information more out of curiosity than anything else
vf2-19 His immaculate appearance was gone
vf2-20 Anyway, no one saw her like that
vf2-21 Philip snatched at the letter which Gregson held out to him
vf2-22 The men stared into each other's face
vf2-23 Yes, it was a man who asked, a stranger
vf2-24 The fourth and fifth days passed without any developments
vf2-25 They closed now until his fingers were like cords of steel
vf2-26 He saw Jeanne falter for a moment
vf2-27 Surely I will excuse you, she cried
vf2-28 In a flash Philip followed its direction
vf2-29 It was his intention to return to Eileen and her father
vf2-30 He would first hunt up Gregson and begin his work there
vf2-31 What was the object of your little sensation
vf2-32 But who was Eileen's double
vf2-33 The promoter's eyes were heavy, with little puffy bags under them
vf2-34 And now, down there, Eileen was waiting for him
vf2-35 There has been a change, she interrupted him
vf2-36 The gray eyes faltered; the flush deepened
vf2-37 It is the fire, partly, she said
vf2-38 Then, and at supper, he tried to fathom her
vf2-39 It was a large canoe
vf2-40 What if Jeanne failed him
