It was Marjorie's first experience with an anonymous letter and the cowardice of it filled her with loathing. She crumpled tight the envelope and enclosure and burned both immediately. Going out to a public booth where she might not be overheard, she telephoned Felix Rinderfeld, who approved her action and expressed the belief that nothing more dangerous was likely to follow from that anonymous source. However, he added that he was very glad to talk with her for he had been about to send her word that one of the events which he had been anticipating was soon to happen; affairs were so working out that Mr. Stanway was to be expected to call in person to see Mrs. Hale. Rinderfeld could not be certain of the exact time, but Stanway might arrive this afternoon; he would not be later than to-morrow.
