"I agree," said Zenda. "But I haven't the cash to swing Grannis's stock."
"Plenty of people have," said the judge. "In fact, I have a client who will take that stock."
"It's a bet," said Zenda. He rose briskly. "Can't thank you enough, Miss Deane. Will you be at the offices of Zenda Films to-morrow morning with Judge Walbrough?"
He turned to the judge and arranged the hour, then turned back to Clancy.
"And as soon as that's settled, we'll make a test of you, Miss Deane."
He was gone in another moment. The judge stared at Clancy.
"Little girl," he said, "if it weren't so late, I'd give you a long, long lecture."
"You'll lecture her no lectures, Tom Walbrough," said his wife firmly. "Hasn't she put you in the way of an investment for a client? You'll thank her, instead of scolding her."
The judge laughed.
"Right enough! But I will give her advice."
