Alymer looked at Hal, and waited for her decision.
Hal only looked doubtful and troubled.
“I think you should stay for the lawsuit,” Denton said, to help her. “It is evident that Lorraine wished it, and she of all people would not have Hermon miss such a chance if possible. I understood Hall it was only likely to last two or three days. He has some clinching evidence, I think.”
“That is so,” Alymer answered gravely; but he still waited to take his cue from Hal.
“You think he should stay for it?” Hal asked Lord Denton.
“I certainly think that is what Lorraine would wish him to do.”
“Very well.”
Hal commenced to pull on her gloves as if there were no more to say, and then Denton asked her:
“Will you wait too?”
“No; I am going back by the next boat.”
