CHAPTER XXX
A SUIT AT LAW
"Don't give in an inch," Bill said, in conclusion to his remarks concerning the validity of the title. "Get over there as quick as you can, and don't let the lawyer weaken."
"It'll take big money to carry on a fight in law."
"We'll try to raise it somehow."
After promising to send him word as to the progress of affairs before night, in case they were detained more than one day, Joe and Fred went down stairs, and at that moment Mrs. Byram opened the door to admit Mr. Wright.
He was particularly pleasant in his greetings, and asked, as he observed that they were on the point of going out:
"Did you finally conclude to come to the office?"
"We were on our way to Blacktown," Joe replied gruffly.
"But we have plenty of time for a chat, since the train does not leave for two hours of more."
