"I don't know. But I imagine we'll all know Monday. I'll look for you then, Cap'n."
CHAPTER XI
The reading of the Knowles will, so Bradley had said, was to take place at the lawyer's office in Orham on Monday. It was Friday when Bradley called at the Minot place, and on Saturday morning Sears and Elizabeth discussed the matter.
"Mr. Bradley said your name was on the list of those the judge asked to be on hand when the will was read," said the captain. "He asked me not to speak about the will to outsiders, and of course I haven't, but you're not an outsider. You're goin' over, I suppose?"
She hesitated slightly. "Why, yes," she said. "I think I shall."
"Yes. Yes, I thought you would."
"I shall go because the judge seems to have wished me to be there, but why I can't imagine. Can you, Cap'n Kendrick?"
Remembering his last conversation with Judge Knowles, Sears thought he might at least guess a possible reason, but he did not say so.
