WELSH , again , until they diverged on to the grass slope , which bounded the path round the park railings . Here were the wheel - tracks of a motor , evidently fresh , for Charteris was certain they had not been visible when he and Sylvia took that route . Close to one of the wheel - marks was the in- dentation of a small foot , probably caused y pressure when the other foot rested on the step of the motor - car ; it was plainer and deeper than any of the others he had seen . One thing was certain , the shoe which left this mark did not belong to a woman of the people - one of the wives of the fishermen , or of the poachers who came from Corville ; it was that of a girl or woman in the higher ranks of life , small and delicately shaped , in- dicating a foot well shod . Charteris had taken the measurements at the spot where he first had seen the footprints .

As they are passing the aerial shed the new imachine rises in the air , and Miss Van An- nan display an emotion which greatly bewilders her host . CHAPTER V. This fact brought back to his memory the vision of Sylvia van Annan looking out over the same view - only higher up and further on , at little He liked to picture her standing like a sentinel over the walls of the house , but he did not wish to complicate the vision by any mystery connected with her interest in the dirigible balloon , and the possible war generally .

" watchers come across with a vague but pleasurable sense , a new zest in life , which was as yet undefinable . Gradually , as his brain cleared , this new - born sense separated itself into the past and the future . It was connected with the name Sylvia van Annan .
