CHAPTER XXV
WHEN THEODORE FORGOT
For the next few days Jordan Morse turned over in his mind numerous plans to remove Jinnie from Grandoken’s home, but none seemed feasible. As long as Lafe knew his past and stood like a rock beside the girl, as long as Theodore King was interested in her, he himself was powerless to do anything. How to get both the cobbler and his niece out of the way was a problem which continually worried him.
He mentioned his anxiety to Molly, asking her if by any means she could help him.
“I did tell her I’d write to you,” said Molly.
Morse’s face fell.
“She’s a stubborn little piece,” he declared presently. “Theo’s in love with her all right.”
“You don’t really mean that!” stammered Molly, her heart thumping.
