But the idea of that sum revived her courage, and she went upstairs, out of breath, stopping at almost every other step.
"Meet me at live to-morrow?" "Surely," she agreed, and then went thoughtfully upstairs to bed. As she slowly undressed she thought of Joe Hooper in his new "shepherd plaid" suit and wondered if he were getting along. And she thought of the Thompsons living in their bleak finery on the top floor of the Ardmore, just sixty feet removed from the hideous clatter of the traffic.
During the silence that followed, they heard the sound of wheels in the garden, and two great furniture vans stopped at the door. "I beg your pardon," said Risler, "but I must leave you a moment.

Then they went upstairs into my room and walked off with my fine rifle and shot-gun.

"And do you think they are coming this way?" asked Mr. Allison.
