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.
