"Let me see it."
"It will be shown in court."
Mrs. Lane breathed hard. She sat back in her chair, and a hard look came over her face.
"I will resist this swindle!" she hissed.
"As you please. Who is your lawyer?"
"I will consider. I am a woman, but I won't allow myself to be robbed!"
"As you please. I have no more to say to you this morning."
She left the office very much perturbed, but gradually became calmer.
"I will resist!" she declared. "Even if the memorandum is in Mr. Lane's handwriting, I shall claim that he was not in sound mind when he wrote it."
She must have a lawyer, however. There was another lawyer in Portville, and she summoned him.
