“Come down here!” commanded Colonel Dartwell.
“I ain’t done nothin’,” growled the fellow. “You let me alone.”
“I asked you where you had been.”
“Up to the park.”
“Who did you have for a fare?”
“An old man.”
“That’s not true—you had two men and a girl.”
The carriage driver muttered something under his breath.
