He felt that his friend's unstable soul might drive him in almost any direction after the shock it had sustained. No. Speculation was useless. The crude facts were like a brick wall he had to face. Standing's wealth and the great mill at Sachigo were left to his administration with the trusting confidence of a child.
This kiddie with her mother's blood running in innocent veins? She's your Nancy's daughter and I guess your marriage made her yours." "She's another man's child." Standing's retort was instant. And the tone of it cut like a knife. Bat regarded him keenly. His knife had ceased from its work on the plug. "That's so," he said after a while.
Harker was something of the roused bull-dog, strong, rugged, furious; a product of earth's rough places. "Give us that last bit again." Bat's tone matched his attitude. It was abrupt, forceful, and he thrust out a hand pointing at the letter from which the other had been reading. Standing's eyes lit with a shadow of a smile as he turned again to the letter.
