"And you didn't know what he was going to do with them?"
"Of course not. I never dreamed of what was going to happen."
"He said nothing at all to you about it then?"
"Yes, on the Saturday before he told me that he knew an old woman in the place he came from who had between thirty and forty thousand dollars in her house, and that he was going to get it."
"Ah, indeed? And what did you say to that, my dear?"
"I told him that he had much better go to work."
"But he wouldn't take your good advice?"
"No, he just laughed, and said he didn't propose to work all summer."
"Did you believe he would go up to New Haven and rob the old woman?"
"No, to tell the truth, I didn't believe he had the nerve to do it."
