The cell-dwellers heard the familiar, loud click of the steel bolts as the door at the end of the corridor was opened. Three men came to Murray's cell and unlocked it. Two were prison guards; the other was "Len" no; that was in the old days; now the Reverend Leonard Winston, a friend and neighbor from their barefoot days.
Martie, taking the girls upstairs, called back to them that she would send Len down.
"Our boys don't come from as wealthy families, so we have to be content with less of the showy things in life." "What are your uniforms going to be like?" inquired Len Spencer. "We haven't any," Dick replied promptly. "No uniforms at all?" demanded the "Blade" reporter. "None at all," Dick continued. "Neither have the South Grammar boys.
We have to pay very high for a privilege which has no value to me except that you like it." Loraine Haswell sighed and masked a yawn behind a small uplifted hand.
