Mrs. Rich. The colonel. And it seemed awfully exorbitant for something like this. I smelled a fish, to quote a maxim.
Mr. Hubert. You mean you thought that there was too much money involved for this sort of operation?
Mrs. Rich. Yes; I did.
Mr. Hubert. You didn’t express that view, of course?
Mrs. Rich. No; I didn’t say anything. I just kept quiet.
Mr. Hubert. How were matters left at the end of that meeting?
Mrs. Rich. That there were more people involved, and that we were to attend a meeting at some later date, of which we would be advised.
Mr. Hubert. Were you advised?
Mrs. Rich. We were.
Mr. Hubert. Did another meeting take place?
