"May be she will. She know'd you was always intimate friends."
"Is Mr. Craven at home?"
"No. Did you want to see him?"
"No. I wanted to see Mrs. Craven alone."
"You don't like him no better'n I do," said Katy.
"I hate him!" exclaimed Ben, energetically, bearing in mind Frank's suspicions that Mr. Craven was concerned in the attack upon him.
"Good on your head!" said Katy, whose manners and education did not preclude her making occasional use of the slang of the day. "I'll go up and see if my missis will see you."
She returned almost immediately.
"Come right up," she said. "She'll be glad to see Frank's friend."
