Présentation de l'éditeur
Who was she? It was she! As many as eight or ten times. Jay Sefton mused, he had thought he had seen her, but always before he had been mistaken. Sometimes she had been leaving a restaurant or an hotel, or in the act of alighting from a car. Once it had been something in the carriage of a womans shoulders; another time it was the quick, bird-like movement of the head; or again the impatient step of a girl crossing the street; it might be the way a woman pr jgelled herself forward against the crowd; or even the cast of features glimpsed through the disfiguring all-over pattern of her veil. Each time he had felt the moment of tense excitement which communicated itself to every nerve. He increased his speed or slackened it as the case might be so that he continued abreast of her. But a second glance was always enough to prove his mistake. And following that he experienced an unreasoning anger directed against tle woman who had decoyed his hopes. The reactions were so regular, so inevitable as to have betome almost formuke, wherein each sensation could be tabulated.
