"Yes, sir. Do you know this gentleman with me?"
Stephen Lorimer regarded the cattleman blankly.
"No," he answered slowly. "I don't know him."
"Perhaps you will remember the name of Giles Packard," said the cattleman, but his tone was cold and not cordial.
"Are you Giles Packard?"
"Yes."
Stephen Lorimer looked embarrassed.
"I hope you are prosperous," he said.
"Thank you—I am doing well now."
