I say, sir," turning to Mr.
At the trial in spring all three Perrys pleaded 'not guilty. John's confession being proved against him, 'he told them he was then mad and knew not what he said. There must have been some evidence against Richard. He declared that his brother had accused others besides him. Being asked to prove this, he answered 'that most of those that had given evidence against him knew it, but named none.
"Headache?" said the nicely modulated, indifferent voice. To this solicitude Clarence made no answer. A dark, ugly look came into his face, and he turned his eyes sullenly and wearily away. "How was the Chase dinner, Bill?" pursued the cheerful visitor, unabashed. "Same old thing," Carol answered briefly. "You're not up to the Perrys' lunch to-day, are you, Clancy?"
He had a golf jacket of jersey, worn through at the creases in the sleeves. She noted that he did not apologize for it, as Kennicott would have done. He made conversation: "I didn't know you were a bosom friend of the Perrys.

"Well, it's a warm day," said Aunt Grace, fanning herself, "and nobody likes to start out early in the afternoon." But after another half-hour passed and still nobody came, they all began to think it rather queer. "Perhaps they've boycotted us," said Uncle Ted, "and don't mean to come at all." "I should think the Perrys would be here by this time," said Nan.
