`` I 'll just run out , '' said Bunting apologetically , `` and see what happened at that inquest to-day . Besides , they may have a clue about the horrible affair last night . Chandler was full of it -- when he was n't talking about Daisy and Margaret , that is . He 's on to-night , luckily not till twelve o'clock ; plenty of time to escort the two of 'em back after the play . Besides , he said he 'll put them into a cab and blow the expense , if the panto ' goes on too long for him to take 'em home . '' `` On to-night ? '' repeated Mrs. Bunting .
