He drove there at once , but was told that about eight o'clock his brother had gone out , but without giving any clew to his destination . As Chetney had not at once come to see his father , Arthur decided that he was still angry with him , and his mind , turning naturally to the cause of their quarrel , determined him to look for Chetney at the home of the Princess Zichy . `` Her house had been pointed out to him , and though he had never visited it , he had passed it many times and knew its exact location . He accordingly drove in that direction , as far as the fog would permit the hansom to go , and walked the rest of the way , reaching the house about nine o'clock .
