“To see Chase, eh?”
“What I hear.”
“What about, Peter?”
“I sh’d guess he wanted Chase to call Wint off. Kite don’t like a fight, you know.”
Amos nodded. “V. R. Kite,” he said pleasantly, “is a lick-spittle, Peter. That’s what V. R. Kite is. I don’t like to see Chase mixing with him.”
“You know,” said Peter, “Chase has changed some, since you put the laugh on him.”
“Chase is all right,” said Amos surprisingly. “He’s had the foolishness knocked out of him. Peter, he’ll make a good man, before he’s done.”
Peter looked at Amos sidewise and said he wouldn’t be a bit surprised.
“But he makes a mistake to tie up to Kite,” said Amos.
“Him and Kite had a talk with Routt, in Jack’s office, last night,” said Peter.
