“I know you must have looked over ’em pretty carefully,” said Samuel Windham. “But Millie wanted me to make certain that all of the bills had been found.”
“I’d like to see you find half a dozen more, Mr. Windham.”
“Thank you; but I’d think I was lucky to find just one.”
Half an hour was spent over the books, but no more bank bills were brought to light.
“I reckon we have all of them, Mr. Hardy.”
“I think so myself. Still, there was no harm in another look.”
“My wife and I talked this matter over this morning,” went on Samuel Windham.
“How is she?”
“Much better. Such good news acts better on her than medicine. As I was saying, we talked this matter over this morning. We want you to understand that we appreciate what you’ve done for us.”
“Oh, that’s all right.”
