Katherine put her hand over the mouthpiece, and repeated Blake’s request to Old Hosie and Billy Harper.
“What shall I do?” she asked.
“Tell him to go to!” said Billy promptly. “You’ve got him where you want him. Don’t pay any more attention to him.”
“I’d like to know what he’s up to,” mused Old Hosie.
“And so would I,” agreed Katherine, thoughtfully. “I can’t do anything more here; he can’t hurt me; so I guess I’ll go.”
She removed her hand from the mouthpiece and leaned toward it.
“Where are you, Mr. Blake?”
“At my home.”
“Very well. I am coming.”
