"The wretch!" shouted Peter. "Let him die there! What's his time?"
"Six months."
"Good! We'll make it six more."
"Am I to return that information?" asked Welty.
"Yes," snapped Peter. "What else from Monroe?"
"He has failed to rope in Winthrope."
"What next?"
"His new scheme is to put him as treasurer of the company."
"Good! Go to it, tell him. How's the girl?"
"Jarney took the young man to his home to see her, and she is recovering."
