But their bliss is
cut short when they're informed
by one of Christian's employees that an
intruder broke into his company, Grey Enterprises, and stole vital information and set arson to one of the offices.
I believe that he attempted to recover some of these canvases, and to my certain knowledge, one moonlit night, would have stolen back a portrait of Mrs Euphemia Urquart of Woodside Terrace, Glasgow, had not he been interrupted in the act of forcing a water - closet window
by the Urquarts» butler, who (apparently
cut short in solitary labours of his own) had been sitting in the dark; and who - despite the handicap of having his trousers at his ankles - grasped the
intruder's shoulders as they emerged beneath the sash.
