"But we can prove it to him."
"On the contrary, you will find yourself unable to do this."
"Didn't Harris show you that list?"
"Yes; but that was some days ago."
"You've unloaded, eh? That won't help you any. We'll find out who's got it."
"You need not take any trouble about the matter, as I am quite ready to give you the necessary information. Miss Gorham now holds the shares."
"Gorham's daughter?" queried Harris. "Does he know it?"
"I really don't know whether Miss Gorham has advised her father or not; that is her affair."
"Well, we'll see that he does know it," stormed Brady; "and will also see that he knows how you've unloaded it on her."
"You may find some difficulty," Covington replied, suavely. "The certificates, you know, never stood in my name. I simply acted as the young lady's agent. If you can make any capital out of that, you are at perfect liberty to do so. Was there any other detail in connection with this matter which you wished to discuss with me? Mr. Harris and you have been most confidential, and I might possibly feel inclined to reciprocate."
