Armitage gazed at her thoughtfully for a moment.
"You may trust me, Jack. I may be able to help you. I feel sure I shall. I want to help you—and Anne."
Armitage raised his hand warningly.
"Don't, Sara, please!"
"Very well." She smiled sweetly. "You may proceed to The Crags, McCall."
Anne met her at the doorway and Armitage took the car to the garage.
"Say," said Ryan, "there 's some one been calling you up for the past hour."
Armitage looked at the man excitedly.
"Who was it? Did he give his name?"
"No, would n't give it. He said he 'd call up again, though. He—there goes the bell now."
