Mr。 Ruck was still vaguely inspecting the shop； he was still
whistling a little。 〃I am afraid he is not at all well；〃 I said；
softly； to his wife。
She twisted her head a little； and glanced at him。
〃Well； I wish he'd improve！〃 she exclaimed。
〃A satin case； and a nice one！〃 said Miss Ruck to the shopman。
I bade Mr。 Ruck good…bye。 〃Don't wait for me；〃 he said； sitting
there on his stool； and not meeting my eye。 〃I've got to see this
thing through。〃
I went back to the Pension Beaurepas； and when； an hour later； I left
it with my luggage； the family had not returned。
