"Only an hour before, I myself saw Loammi coming out of your chamber. He pretended that he went there expecting to see you."
"Did you tell Mr. Little that?"
"No; but I will if you want me to."
"I may ask you to do it some time. Do you think Loammi took the money?"
"I do that. All this week he's been unusually flush of cash. It's easy to guess where it came from."
"And I have had to suffer for his theft. Oh, by the way, Ellen, has any letter come here for me?"
"There was one came this morning. I'll get it for you."
Scott looked at the postmark of the letter, and saw that it was from Chicago.
