"Wish you'd bring her down. This is a complicated case, and we've got to conduct it with directness. She can be of great assistance in extricating her father from this predicament."
"All right, sir. When shall I bring her?"
"Oh, any time that is convenient. Tomorrow morning at nine will perhaps be the best. And, now, say! Have you any idea who the plaintiff is going to use as witnesses?"
"Why, I think he plans to bring his grandmother from what I can hear, for one."
"His grandmother? What does she know about it?"
"Well, she was in the house when my father-in-law went on the visit and the girl came away with him."
"I see. I'd like to know just what passed and what she heard and will testify to. I wonder whether she will testify that she overheard your father-in-law abusing this Baptiste to his wife?"
"I really don't know."
"Who else?"
"I heard something about him going to bring a doctor down, and also a lawyer."
