In a lonely stretch of road, out of sight of any house or building, two men stepped quietly from some bushes at the side of the road, and laid hands on Clover's bridle. Betty recognized them as the two men dressed in gray whom Bob had followed on the train, and who had interviewed him while the aunts were ill. "Don't scream!" warned the man called Blosser.
Bob peeped over his paper and saw the dark-eyed man spring from his seat and hurry across the aisle where a large, fat, jovial-looking individual was puffing contentedly on a cigarette. "Cal Blosser!" boomed the big man in a voice heard over the car. "Well, well, if this isn't like old times! Glad to see you, glad to see you. What's that? Jack Fluss with you?
"Miss Hope will sign right here," said Blosser, hastily unfolding a sheet of foolscap. "She was about to do so when you came in." Miss Hope automatically took up the pen. "Have you read that agreement?" demanded Mr. Gordon sharply. "Do you know what you are signing? I'd like to know the purchase price. I'm representing Bob's interest." "Oh, Bob!"
Ein Mensch, der nur lieset um zu druecken, lieset wahrscheinlich uebel; und wer jeden Gedanken, der ihm aufstosst, durch Feder and Presse versendet, hat sie in kurzer Zeit alle versandt, und wird bald ein blosser Diener der Druckerey, ein Buchstabensetzer werden." A chapter of requests and premonitions concerning the perusal or omission of the chapter that follows.
"We'd like to see," the younger man spoke crisply and consulted a small leather-bound note-book, "Miss Hope Saunders or her sister. Miss Charity. Please take her our cards." He held out the two bits of pasteboard and Betty, looking over Bob's shoulder, was astonished to read, not "Cal Blosser" and "Jack Fluss," but "Irving Snead" and "George Elmer."
"Funny they didn't mention it when I was driving through here last spring, listing properties, eh?" "I never knew my aunts to confide personal and private affairs to strangers," said Bob calmly. Blosser turned on him angrily. "You're fresh!" he snarled. "If you knew what was for your own good, you'd keep a civil tongue in your head. Come on er Elmer, we're wasting time with this kid.
