With an angry exclamation, Carnac refused it, and then she suddenly turned on her heel, slipped round a corner and was gone. Carnac was dumbfounded. He did not know what to do. He went dazedly home, and slept little that night. The next day he went out to Shipton and saw Judge Grimshaw and told him the whole tale. The Judge shook his head. "It's too tall a story.
