"Oh, it was some bigger difference than that. He didn't want to tell me about it until he was sure, but maybe he would tell you."
Rob laughed. "Aren't you ingenious, miss? Not till morning, anyway. Maybe I'll talk to him then, unless Raeburn gets home first. If I can only see the judge for five minutes, he'll probably dismiss the case against me without another word."
Garnett looked up eagerly when Harry entered the office. "He didn't want to see me?" he asked.
"He will in the morning." She blushed faintly, but still faced him with frank eyes.
"Well, let's go. You're all in. It's nearly midnight, do you know it? And you haven't had a square meal all day."
"I'm not a bit hungry, but I am sleepy, most horribly sleepy."
She yawned and laughed at the same time.
As they went out into the street, Harry drew a deep breath and lifted her face. How sweet the fresh air was! And to think of Rob's being shut up in that horrible prison!
"I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you," said Garnett, when they stopped at the foot of the hotel steps. "But I won't leave this game until it's played through."
He held out his hand to her, raised his hat and looked at her; in his steady blue eyes was an expression of sincere friendliness that put courage into Harry's heart.
