"You heard Doctor Hapgood say that?" "I did." "In your presence?" "No." Then she described the little scene graphically. "But Ledyard " Then he paused. Ledyard's confidence must be sacred to him. "And Huntter Huntter knows that you know; does he know that you are Margaret's friend?" "Yes." "And he trusts you?" "He thinks I do not count, but I do with Margaret."
I've been well, I've been rather up against it, I fear, and a trial to you, for all that you say to the contrary; but I am going to make amends to you and the world! Now, when my friend comes, you won't mind if I ask you to leave us alone for a few moments? I can call you when I need you." "Yes, Mr. Huntter." "The lady is you may have guessed my fiancée.
The young man who requires your services is Clyde Huntter. This means nothing to you, but it does to many others. He is supposed to be in Bermuda. You understand?" "Yes, Doctor Hapgood."
