"Well, if you think we ought to stop," said the lady undecidedly. "But I don't see what you expect to accomplish."
"I want to see that boy face to face. I want to speak to him, and find out for certain who he is."
"Well, don't be any longer than you can help."
"I won't."
Meanwhile Jed and Harry Bertram were conversing in the greenroom.
"You did yourself proud, my boy," said Bertram. "You acted as well as Clinton, and in some respects better."
"I am glad to hear you say so, Mr. Bertram," said Jed, gratified.
"I could hardly believe that this was your first appearance on the stage. Weren't you frightened at all?"
"Not a bit. I enjoyed it."
