"You are right!" as if she had mastered an intricate problem. "And I would not have disturbed you, but I have great news for you."
"Indeed?"
"Yes. Murfree died an hour or two ago, and has left papers that tell the whole story, and exonerate Lozcoski."
"How glad I am!"
"I knew you would be. There are other things, too. When can I see you?"
"Let me see. I have news, too. Lucy has broken down at last, and begged me, all tears and softness, to take her to see poor Nate. We are going in the morning at 8.15. But that would be too early for you?"
"Not at all. And you and Lucy can't go alone to the jail. If you will allow me——"
"How if I command you?" merrily.
"Then I can do nothing but obey."
"Well, then, I do. We'll take the same train, won't we—that 8.15?"
