`` And have you seen her ? Where is she now ? '' `` I was to meet her in the lounge of the Hotel Bristol in Paris last night . Punctually at nine o'clock , the time arranged , I arrived there . I waited until nearly ten , and then a messenger arrived with a note . It was from her . She said in it that she had been telegraphed for to return to England , that she was leaving by the night boat .
