"You'll get the letters all right."
"Show them to me now."
"I can't do that," Walter Crocker replied, and Penny thought she detected a trace of uneasiness in his voice.
"Perhaps you haven't the letters at all," Herman Crocker said quickly.
"Oh, yes, I have. But I don't carry them around with me. I'll bring them a week from today."
"All right, but remember, no letters, no money. And another thing, I can't have you coming here. Already folks are talking about your car being in my barn. I shouldn't have towed it here for you."
"Would you have wanted me to take it to a Kendon garage?"
"No," answered Herman Crocker shortly.
"I thought not. Well, where shall I meet you if you don't want me coming here?"
"At the footbridge by the ravine."
