"You said a minute or two back it was best left alone," said Garry.
"But this is different. I'd like to put a halter round Leigh's neck."
"Why? Have you any strong reason?"
"I'm told Abe Carew and he were pals, and that Abe told him a good many things about Mintaro. Calder gave me the information," Bellshaw answered.
"Did he now, and Abe wouldn't spare you, would he?"
"Spare me? What do you mean? He'd tell a lot of infernal lies about me, the scoundrel."
"You should be more careful how you send men away. You were not over polite to him," said Garry.
"He didn't deserve it. He robbed me right and left."
"I don't think he did. I told you so at the time."
Bellshaw made an impatient gesture.
