"She certainly did."
"You know that I informed the men of this bank long ago that I would not retain in my employ any man who joined the Klan. Now, I will not retain a man or woman in my employ who talks in favor of the Klan or lends his influence to it in any way. Ruth will have the pleasure of looking for another job."
"Uncle Jim, I don't believe that Ruth is to blame so much as is someone else."
"Who?"
"Harold King."
"What has King to do with it?"
"Ruth runs around a great deal with King, and you know that he is a Klansman."
"Yes, and I know that he is an impudent puppy, too."
"I am satisfied that Ruth is influenced by King. If she would quit associating with King I believe she would be all right."
