If Shelby was amazed at Old Silky's intimate knowledge of his movements, his message did not betray it. Nor did the Boss betray his own amazement at his too apt pupil's prompt evasion of a snare. What he read was this: "The governor's office hours are nine to five." Krantz in his eagerness would have laid profane hands on the missive, but the Boss permitted him neither to touch nor see.
It was that nasty little Bill Nosey. I am sure that he got hold of the lady's parcel, and stuffed it into Silky's cap." Emilia spoke with a vehemence that made them both laugh, and Gerald said "But if he is in a reformatory, what then? Are we to condole with his afflicted family, or bring Bill Nosey to confess?" "I thought I would see about it," said Emilia vaguely.
And with this parting shot Marjory rushed through the shop and jumped into the cart; and Brownie, infected by his mistress's excitement, galloped nearly all the way home, his unusual haste and Silky's sympathetic barking causing quite a commotion in the sleepy, quiet village.
Suddenly the whines were changed to growls, the dog shook himself free from the girl's clasping arms and stood erect, staring into the wood beyond. Marjory was too much overcome by her grief to notice Silky's doings, and it was not until she heard a voice quite close to her saying, "You poor little thing, what is the matter?" that she realized that she was not alone.
