"Tonight?" asked Major.
"Yes," said Judge with a smile. "I begin. Perhaps you begin also. Not just as you have expected."
"What's up?" questioned Butcher.
"Delmar is coming here within an hour!"
They were surprised at Judge's statement. Roland Delmar was the head of the County National — the largest bank in Middletown. The Middletown Trust Company was a small institution compared with the County National.
"What's he coming here for?" asked Butcher.
"You will see," said Judge.
Major alone nodded. He looked at Judge and smiled. Perhaps if Deacon had been present, the solemn-faced man would have smiled, too — although Deacon was sparing with smiles.
"Do you see that door?" asked Major. "When we hear the bell ring, the three of you go in there. You can listen. Then I won't have to tell you so much afterward."
"It means we're going to—" began Butcher.
