There seemed nothing to say. HardyâÇÖs very presence told him everything. Hardy stood in the doorway and wondered what to do next.âÇÖHow?âÇÖ Hardy cleared his throat, and said softly, âÇÖIâÇÖm afraid it appears she was hit over the head.âÇÖMedhurst nodded. After a pause he said, âÇÖThese little hats the girls all wear nowadays, no protection.âÇÖâÇÖNo indeed,âÇÖ Hardy replied, belatedly remembering to remove his own hat. He took a seat. The chessboard had been set up again, a match was already in progress. No doubt a new game had been started after he had taken his leave the previous evening.âÇÖWhen can I see her?âÇÖ Hardy was startled when Major Medhurst spoke suddenly right beside him. Tears ran unchecked down the manâÇÖs face. He was wringing his hands, his fingers restless and trembling.âÇÖNot today,âÇÖ Hardy said.á
