“Of course.”
“Did the men part in anger?”
“Why, when they all ran off, they did not have time to say good-by to each other. They were too much in a hurry.”
“You did not say that they got away in a hurry.”
“Oh, didn’t I? Well, they did. They found out that some one was listening. That was just after the train came in. So they ducked, and the man who had been listening went to the train.”
“How long was he there?”
“Just a minute. When he came up to where the trunk had been opened, after they left, the girl made her appearance, and they walked away together in the direction of the platform. I did not recognize either of them. You see it was dark, and they were not close to the window.”
“Now you’ve brought a girl in,” said Nick. “You must have had quite a matinée under your window this morning.”
“Didn’t I tell you about the girl before?”
“Certainly not.”
