"Poor Halsey!" she said softly. "Miss Innes, I can not marry him, and I am afraid to tell him. I am a coward a coward!" I sat beside the bed and stared at her.
Halsey leaned over and patted my hand. "You must take us on faith," he said. "Jack Bailey hasn't a penny that doesn't belong to him; the guilty man will be known in a day or so." "I shall believe that when it is proved," I said grimly. "In the meantime, I take no one on faith. The Inneses never do." Gertrude, who had been standing aloof at a window, turned suddenly.
