Enter Sir John

When Sir John Saumerez, the famous actor-manager, told an aspiring young actress, called Martella Baring, to go and get a couple of years' experience in provincial rep., he couldn't have known that this cliché-advice would bring her into the shadow of the gallows. Whether or not she had committed the murder of which she now stood accused, she was certainly no responsibility of his. And, as his aunt observed, it wasn't as though he were in love with her. But, when a man in the club talked unpleasantly about Miss Baring, Sir John, who never made scenes except between eight-thirty and eleven, stalked angrily out of the room. He scarcely understood his own interest in the case. It was a fact, however: and Sir John Saumerez was a man of action, fond of making large gestures. So he determined to save Martella Baring if he could.
