"I thought you might be. Are you in the habit of borrowing money from people who are asleep?"
"What do you mean? You don't think I took the money?"
"Yes, I think you did."
"Why, didn't I tell you that I spent the night with a sick friend in—in Eighty-Seventh Street. How could I rob you?"
"You came back during the evening and found me asleep."
"That's a mistake!" said Graham quickly.
"It is true. Mrs. Gately let you in, as she informed me the next morning."
Maurice Graham looked very much disconcerted, and looked eagerly to the Jersey shore, which they were fast approaching.
