Dillon knelt beside her mop and pail, and had found her, to his surprise, comparatively reassured and cheerful. Dr. Disbrow, she told him, had been in the previous evening, and had told her to take heart about Jim, and left her enough money to get along for a week and a wonderful new cough-mixture that he'd put up for her special.
Disbrow was not telling the truth about Dillon?" "Yes. He said that was a very grave accusation to make, and that no one should have made it without being able to give proof." "That is quite true, theoretically. But in this case it would be easy for you or Mr. Tredegar to find out whether I was right." "But Mr. Tredegar said you refused to say who told you." "I was bound to, as it happened.
"I don't suppose that cost Truscomb ten dollars," he said to himself, as the lift lowered him to the factory door; but another voice argued that he had no right to accuse Disbrow of acting as his brother-in-law's agent, when the gift to Mrs. Dillon might have been prompted by his own kindness of heart.

"Osterman bribed him, I suppose," observed Magnus. Annixter raised a shoulder vexatiously. "You've got to pay for what you get," he returned. "You don't get something for nothing, I guess.
