“This morning. At the hospital.”
“The hospital! Is he injured that badly?”
“No. You had not heard? It is Mr. Galpin, a friend of Eli’s—who stood by him.”
“Andy Galpin! How bad is it?”
“Much worse than they supposed. He will be nearly blind in one eye.”
“Good Lord!”
“And is he a friend of yours, also; Mr. Galpin?”
“Andy? Yes; of course he is.”
“But you made no inquiry about him.”
“I did n’t know.”
