former husband Carrick divorced her because she was found in the rooms of Gerald Rosario, who was accidentally shot. Sybil dare not tell her | |
present husband of her identity, but when Carrick meets Tregarthen and dines with them, she is embarrassed and terror-struck, confiding also | |
in Honor's fiance Armour. Honor goes to Carrick's flat to plead his silence on her stepmother's behalf. Carrick is later found murdered, and Sybil | |
arrested, but the arrival of a wireless engineer, who in Rumania heard Honor's struggle in self-defence with Carrick, smooths things out. | |
