“For which Jabez Garrison is responsible?”
“So they claim.”
“What does Mr. Garrison say about it?”
“He told your father that it would all be straightened out in a week.”
“Does father believe it?”
“He won’t say. He is much worried, and I don’t wish to ask too many questions for fear it might make your father worse.”
“Didn’t I say Garrison was a snake?” went on Frank. “I am sorry father trusted him.”
“So am I—now. But it can’t be helped.”
“Do you know what father was going to do about it?”
“He said he had intended to go to Philadelphia again next Monday. But of course, he can’t go now.”
