"I thought so. As the French say, whom does it benefit?"
They looked at each other, but said nothing. There could be no mistake as to who was benefited. After a time Henry remarked: "I see that Flummers has gone to Omaha to identify a suspect."
"He did go, but I heard some of the boys say that he returned this morning. Is your work all done for to-day?"
"Yes, about all."
"Suppose we go over to the club."
"All right. Wait a moment."
Henry stepped into Miss Drury's room. "You must; forgive me," he said, in a low tone.
"What for?" she asked, in surprise.
"For so rudely inviting you to dinner when my sister had not even called on you."
"Oh, that's nothing," she replied, laughing. "Such mistakes are common enough with men, I should think."
