They sent you down here to palaver me into doin
justthat, didnt they? And in his office next morning he did that very thing. Paysons

climbed to his seat and clucked to thehorses. Or have you gotsomething to show me

Well, I supposeI can wait another twenty-four

Youre right, though, Hettie; the news isout.
Bartlett, he began; butHezekiah interrupted him. Cause Id known them fellows for a
long spell; knew em when theywas sailin ships out of Boston.

Bradford, its lucky for you he didnt sendthat

came atelegram.
He heard steps in the hall and the latchrattled.
Hezekiah frowningly looked outof the window.
