“The matter must be brought to his notice at once, any way,” said Joe doggedly.
“You can count upon that,” said Harriet grimly.
“But it’ll be one side only. And there’s the other, my gal.”
“What other?” Harriet asked with a drawn smile.
“Her side. She is not going to be made a fool of by anyone if I can help it.”
Said Harriet very gravely: “Joe, I sincerely hope you will not meddle in this. I am quite sure that any interference of ours will be most unwise.”
But Joe shook the head of a warrior.
“There you’re wrong. This is our affair and we’ve got to see it through.”
“Far better let the matter alone.”
