noon
Good-night . '' `` Good-night , dearest -- and thank you again , and again ! '' Early in the morning Mirabel set forth for Redwood Hall , in one of the vehicles which Mrs. Delvin still kept at `` The Clink '' for the convenience of visitors . He returned soon after noon ; having obtained information of the whereabout of Mrs. Rook and her husband . When they had last been heard of , they were at Lasswade , near Edinburgh . Whether they had , or had not , obtained the situation of which they were in search , neither Miss Redwood nor any one else at the Hall could tell . In half an hour more , another horse was harnessed , and Mirabel was on his way to the railway station at Belford , to follow Mrs. Rook at Emily 's urgent request .
