Marta wondered as Lanstron read his message the message out of the real heart of the man, throbbing with the power of his great brain.

Yes, she will readily find a place among strangers." "Still, she doesn't want to go, and it would be cruel to send her away." "Cruel! Why, Marta, do you think I would be cruel? Oh, very well, then we will let her stay!"
