“It certainly does.”
“And this Le Duc, who is he?”
“He's a cheap actor who married Bigelow's daughter.”
“His daughter! His oldest child is not a dozen years old.”
“By his present wife, yes. But he's been married before.”
“I'll think this over, Mr. Halloran; I'll think it over.”
Halloran rose. “I came up here from Chicago to tell you that Bigelow is unsound. The sooner everybody connected with the Michigan lumber business finds it out the better for the business. Good-night.”
“Good-night, sir.”
