I know what you think. It's neither here nor there, I tell you. I'm doing this, and I don't care what you think. I have to take the blame. Don't bother about me." "Well, I won't, I assure you," she flung back. "It's quite plain that your family means nothing to you. But if you had any sense of decency, Lester Kane, you would never let your sister be trapped into coming into a place like this.
A conference of the various members of the family was called for the second day after the funeral, to be held at the offices of Messrs. Knight, Keatley & O'Brien, counselors of the late manufacturer. As Lester rode to the meeting he had the feeling that his father had not acted in any way prejudicial to his interests.
Keep up his heart!... And there was a chance of someone else taking his share of the damnable thing, after all!... But Lester Stark wouldn't kill. Perhaps not and yet, some months ago he had told him to his face that he'd like to send Wynne's body to burn in hell!... H'm.
The ladies came to the door in response to the captain's imperious halloo. "We've come to find out where the Lester horses are, madam and what's more," he added with a brutal oath, "we intend to know!" "I have no information to give you," calmly returned Mrs. Lee. "Perhaps you won't tell us where that box of diamonds is, either," he sneered. To this there was no reply.
"I think the old gentleman has been a little rough in this," said Robert, who had been sitting next him. "I certainly did not expect him to go as far as that. So far as I am concerned some other arrangement would have been satisfactory." Lester smiled grimly. "It doesn't matter," he said. Imogene, Amy, and Louise were anxious to be consolatory, but they did not know what to say.
"There," she said, mechanically pointing to a small center-table where the letter lay conspicuous on a large book. "And you were really going to leave me, Jennie, with just a letter?" said Lester, his voice hardening a little as he spoke. "I swear to heaven you are beyond me. What's the point?" He tore open the envelope and looked at the beginning. "Better send Vesta from the room," he suggested.
"Why not face the facts to yourself when you are playing for big stakes?" He would, for one, and he did. Robert felt that although Lester was a tremendously decent fellow and his brother, he wasn't pliable enough to suit his needs. He was too outspoken, too inclined to take issue.
"But in this state of mind I was yet forced to play the hypocrite. Had I been alone in the world had Madeline and Lester not been to me what they were, I might have avowed my deed and my motives I might have spoken out to the hearts of men I might have poured forth the gloomy tale of reasonings and of temptings, in which we lose sense, and become the archfiend's tools!
So they jalled sar-sigan kett'nus, an' rakkered, "Sarshan!" ta yeck chairus. An' dovo raklo didn't jin what juva kaumed lester ferridirus, or kun yuv kaumed ye ferridirus, so sar the shtor besht-a-lay sum, at the habbenescro, and yuv del len habben an' levinor.
Happily for all parties, this distressing scene was here interrupted. Lester entered the room with the heavy step into which his once elastic and cheerful tread had subsided. "Ha, Walter!" said he, irresolutely glancing over the group; but Madeline had already sprang from her seat. "You have seen him! you have seen him! And how does he how does he look?
