About seven o'clock he had called at the Castis ' , but found neither of them at home . Returning thence to Fulham , he had walked for hours up and down , in vain expectation of Ida 's coming .

As he reached his door , Julian stood there , about to knock . `` Anything amiss ? '' Waymark asked , examining his friend by the light of the street-lamp .
