“Because her brother has done so.”
“Is that woman?”
“Yes, that is woman.”
“I’m learning. And she is married to him, you still think?”
“No; I don’t believe now that she is. However, we’ll soon learn the truth. We shall have no difficulty in getting in touch with Captain Lyman now. The newspaper people will be certain to have his address in case of accidents. They would not care to be saddled with a libel action unless they could lay a hand on Captain Lyman at a moment’s notice.”
“I’m certain of that; they’ll give us his address fast enough at the newspaper office. We shall call for it when we have seen Reggie Liscomb.”
They had agreed with Mr. Liscomb to call upon him on their return from their visit to Major Crosbie, to acquaint him with the result of their interview with that officer; and when they entered the private room of the junior partner, they found him with a copy of the newspaper which they had just been reading, on the desk in front of him.
“You have seen it?” said Jack. “Captain Lyman’s letter?”
“I have gone one better. I have seen Captain Lyman himself,” said Mr. Liscomb.
“Then you know his present address and we need not send for it to the paper?” said Priscilla.
