The Scandal At 23 Mount Street (An Angela Marchmont Mystery Book 9) - Plot & Excerpts
Angela found a woman from her party and said that she was going home, and that she would take a taxi so please not to worry about her, then ran off before any questions could be asked. Then she and Valencourt slipped out unobserved through a side door and hurried to his motor-car, which was parked not far away. Soon they were speeding along the Old Kent Road out of London. The roads were almost deserted at that time of night, and they sat mostly in silence. Angela was lost in her own thoughts, half-convinced that she was in the middle of the strangest dream, and that any moment she would wake up and find herself in her own bed—for surely she could not really be driving into deepest Kent with a notorious thief, on a mission to replace a stolen jewel, could she? And yet it had been her own idea. It was really none of her business whether he returned the thing or not, and it would have been much wiser altogether to feign unconcern as to what became of him, but she had the oddest feeling that tonight was important, and that what happened in the next few hours would somehow affect both of them for a long time to come.
