“Not without cause. I have noticed some things about him that I don’t like. I think he is quite capable of turning against you.”
“I have never remarked anything of the sort, but I know you would not speak without cause. Tell me what you want me to do.”

“I never have. And now have you any suggestions to make?”
“You might visit this farmer who helped the Quaker arrest your brother.”
“It may be a good plan. Who is the farmer?”
“His name is Ezekiel Mason.”
“I know where he lives. He is the last man I should suppose would be capable of such mischief.”
“He could have done nothing without the Quaker’s help.”
“Very well, we will take the farm on the way. Still I don’t know that we shall learn anything beyond what we already know.”
