"I'll tell you this, that my opinion of Mrs. Roger Sands has changed. You shall hear why presently. I rather think it will give you pleasure to change yours—when you can conscientiously. As for Sands himself, I've learned that we have both done him an injustice in regard to those papers."
"How have you learned all this?"
"From the same person who wished me to put you on your guard—made me call you up at Narragansett, and wire when I couldn't reach you by 'phone!"
"Who is this person?"
"My wife. And if you want to know who she is——"
"I most certainly do."
"I could introduce you to her in about two minutes if I weren't afraid of her giving you another shock."
"Another—shock?"
"As she did on the Sunday night at our hotel when you had your—little attack. Heron, I've married that girl; the most wonderful girl in the world."
Heron stopped short.
