The season is so short that it would be unjust to the rightful owner if the claim lay idle all summer so, to avoid that, I've been put in charge, with instructions to operate it and preserve the proceeds subject to the court's order. Mr. Voorhees here is the United States Marshal. He will serve the papers." Glenister threw up his hand in a gesture of restraint. "Hold on!

When Harry said something about dinner, she replied that she had dined with the Voorhees in the Pennsylvania station, since they had missed the train and had some time on their hands.
