“I don’t want to be inquisitive, but may I ask where you are going?”
“I want to go to Easton, Mr. Bradbury.”
There was another pause, followed by another question.
“I suppose it’s none o’ my business, but can I inquire if Rhett Bannister has decided to give himself up?”
“I think not, Mr. Bradbury. He don’t change his mind very easily after he’s once made it up.”
