said Pointz.
"Done," said Stein with alacrity.
THE REGATTA MYSTERY
The two men were soon whole-heartedly engaged
in their battle.
Lady Marroway murmured to Evan Llewellyn:
"Eve is not the only child in the party."
Llewellyn smiled assent but somewhat absently.
He had been absent-minded all that day. Once
or twice his answers had been wide of the point.
Pamela Marroway drew away from him and
said to her husband:
"That young man has something on his mind."
Sir George murmured:
"Or someone?"
And his glance swept qu
ickly over Janet Rust-ington.
Lady Marroway frowned a little. She was a tall
woman exquisitely groomed. The scarlet of her
fingernails was matched by the dark red coral
studs in her ears. Her eyes were dark and watchful.
Sir George affected a careless "hearty English
gentleman" manner--but his bright blue eyes held
the same watchful look as his wife's.
Isaac Pointz and Leo Stein were Hat'ton Garden
diamond merchants. Sir George and Lady Mar-roway
came from a different world--the world of
Antibes and Juan les Pins--of golf at St. JeandeLuz--of
bathing from the rocks at Madeira in the
winter.
