"We had better compare notes, Miss Farrell. I concluded that Cale was a firm friend of yours from his remarks."
"What did he say? Do tell me."
"I will—if you 'll agree to tell me his comments on my talk with Pierre. I believe Pierre's words fell over themselves, he had so much to tell me."

"I agree; tell me, please."
"I think it was just before we entered the river road—"
"I know it was, for he told me so," I said, enjoying the fun.
"Oh, he did! Well, perhaps you will be so good as to tell me, if he told you what he told me you told him?"
"You would n't ask that if you knew Cale," said Jamie, shaking his head dubiously.
"No, he did n't," I said. "Cale is a genuine Yankee. What did he say?"
