The law calls it a confession of theft." Fletcher winced. "You have told me that often enough before.
"Did you miss killing him?" "Oh! no, not I. We are the best friends in the world. General, he is a capital fellow, and so original to boot that I'm going to ask a bit of a favor for him." "The devil!
