This was the outcome of his brilliant idea which was to save the Phipps' home... and its owner's peace of mind... and Primmie... and .... Oh, dear me! dear me! Galusha walked slowly across the room to the chair by the window, and, sitting down, continued to stare hopelessly at the letter in his hand.
