“Y—yes.”
“Avice, you are as bad as I am! For one we love, we stop at nothing! You would perjure your soul for Landon; I, for you! Where’s the difference?”
“I won’t, Leslie. I can’t! Don’t do that awful thing!”
“And let Landon be convicted?”
“Oh, no, no! Not that! But wait, Leslie, I have a new plan.”
“Oh, yes, I forgot you were going to save Landon by your own exertions!”
“And I am. Have you ever heard of Fleming Stone?”
“Of course I have. Why?”
“I’m going to get him to find the murderer.”
