"My head doesn't feel right. I think it's the shock."
"I'll get you some hot tea directly. You'll feel better after taking it."
"I hope so. Oh, Sarah, I didn't expect such a blow as this."
"Try not to think of it now. Get well first, and then we'll see what we can do to find the robber."
"I know him now!"
"You know who robbed you!" said his wife, stopping short in her surprise.
"Yes."
"Who was it? Any one livin' round here?"
"It was Squire Bates."
A terrible suspicion entered the mind of the poor wife. It was clear to her that her husband's mind was unhinged. As soon as she had a chance she went out to where Dean and Mr. Gould were standing in the yard.
