“Well,” Whitewell said, “you can get after Miss Framley now and find out about that letter.”

“Better let things cool down a little.”

Bertha frowned as though something was puzzling her. Then she said, “Donald, go down to your room and get on a clean shirt. Get some of that dust out of your clothes. Do you have another suit with you?”

“No.”
