Jack felt overcome with embarrassment as he remembered his imperious summons , and so much at a loss to explain his predicament that for a few moments he could not find words , but just lay back in his chair staring at her with horrified eyes . The stranger evidently perceived his embarrassment , for she came a step forwards and said tactfully -- `` I think you must be Mr Melland . May I introduce myself ? My name is Margot Blount I have been lunching at the vicarage , and took the opportunity of calling upon Miss Farrell before the carriage comes back for me at five o'clock . I shall be so glad if I can be of any service to you _ en route _ . '' `` Thank you ; you are very kind . I am awfully sorry that I should have shouted at you in that threatening way , '' said Jack , smiling in his most fascinating manner , and he could be remarkably fascinating upon occasion .
