"With Murray Davenport?" "Yes tell me what you know." Florence's eyes were poignantly intent. Larcher made rapid work of his story, in impatience for hers. His relation deeply impressed her. As soon as he had done, she began, in suppressed excitement: "With all those circumstances there can be no doubt he knows something. And two things I can add.
"Phil stayed quite late last night. Just as he was leaving, Mrs. Boyd and Miss Lucy came home, and of course we had to stay up a little while longer to meet them. By the time Joyce had turned the davenport in the studio into a bed for me, it was past midnight, and I couldn't go to sleep for hours. There was so much to think about.
"He might have undertaken to act for Davenport, and still have fallen in love," suggested Larcher. "Yes, I daresay, Tom, you know the treachery men are capable of," put in Edna. "But if he did that if he was in Davenport's confidence, and yet spoke of love, or showed it he was false to Davenport. And so in any case he's got to give an account of himself."
I am young, strong, and willing to work, and I am sure I shall find something to do." "That's right, Ben. Cheer up, and if I hear of any good chance, rest assured that I will let you know of it." Tom Davenport was not long in hearing of his father's bargain.

Straight toward the living-room Dorothy headed, her friends at her heels. Dropping down on the davenport she broke into subdued laughter. "You naughty Imp," she gasped. "I know I oughtn't laugh, but you were so funny. Wasn't she, Jane?" "Yes." Jane was now smiling in sympathy with Dorothy's mirth. A moment earlier she had been scowling fiercely. "What's the answer, Jane?"
When he had got them all safe, the door locked, and the gas-stove lighted, he unbuttoned his coat and his eye fell on Bagley's money, crowding his pocket. It was too late now to use it as Bagley had ordered. Davenport wondered what he would do with it, but postponed the problem; he thrust the package of bills out of view, behind the books on Mr.
Davenport was soon informed of the pleasant discovery they had made, and had many questions to ask concerning her Boston friends. Oscar seemed to become at once an old acquaintance. The fact that he was a schoolmate of Willie gave him a direct passport to the good graces of all the family.
A month passed, and it was not cleared up. Larcher became hopeless of ever having sight or word of Murray Davenport again. For himself, he missed the man; for the man, assuming a tragic fate behind the mystery, he had pity; but his sorrow was keenest for Miss Kenby.
But how could Squire Davenport so wickedly try to cheat us of our little property?" "My dear boy," said the tramp, shrugging his shoulders, "your question savors of verdancy. Learn that there is no meanness too great to be inspired by the love of money." "But Squire Davenport was already rich." "And for that reason he desired to become richer."
