“Marry him,� said Chick laconically.
“Do you think she’ll have the gall to attempt that?� Patsy asked.
“Sure.�
“Why? It looks risky to me.�
“How so? She hasn’t done anything but abduct him, and if she becomes his wife—well, that would do away with that charge, wouldn’t it?â€�
“I suppose it would, Chick,� Patsy agreed.
“Besides,� Chick continued, “that has been her game from the start. She doesn’t seem to know any other one.�
“Uh huh!�
“She tried, long ago, to marry J. Cephas Lynne—and I’m inclined to think she would have done it, too, if his cousin Thomas hadn’t murdered him.â€�
