“Ben isn’t filling any such position as that mentioned.”
“How do you know? When did you hear from him last?”
“Four weeks ago.”
“A good deal may happen in four weeks, Mrs. Winter.”
“That is true, but you won’t make me believe Ben has taken money.”
“None so blind as those that won’t see. I knew no good would ever come to Ben when he ran away from a good home.”
“I shan’t borrow any trouble, Mr. Winter. You always were ready to believe anything bad of Ben.”
“Just wait and see, Mrs. W. You’ll find out that I am right, before long.”
And Mr. Winter with a smile of superiority left the kitchen and went out to the barn.
He had hardly gone out when Albert Graham came into the house.
