"Miss Langdon is at Three-Star ranch, in Montana. She has been there—"
"One moment, Melvin!"
"Well?"
"You said, Miss Langdon. Do you wish to correct that statement by any change of name? Was it a slip of the tongue, caused by momentary forgetfulness?"
"No."
"'Three-Star' is the name of a brand owned by Richard Morton, is it not?"
"Yes."
"Three-Star ranch is one of his many properties, I believe."
"It is."
