Was this latest revelation true, and had he actually stumbled upon authentic records, or manufactured them to avenge himself upon her and eliminate her from his path? Willa's mind still groped in a quandary, but every instinct within her arose to combat. "Why would Dad have mentioned Hillery at all, if he did not intend that I should ever learn the truth?" she asked quietly.
Willa's voice trembled, and she rose quickly. "Where can I find her? It is good of you to have told me what you could, Mr. Ryder. You don't remember anything else about this Miss Violet and her baby; she left no papers with anyone?" "No, not that I know of. The lawyer asked me that, too, and the young feller who came last fall. Riley, his name was, or something like that." "Starr Wiley?"
It was the first cynical remark that had ever fallen from the girl's lips, but she was learning fast, and Mrs. Halstead recognized the storm signals and withdrew. In the hall, she encountered Willa's maid, a bright-eyed, hard-featured Frenchwoman. "Liane, if Mademoiselle goes out before I return, you know what to do?" "Bien, Madame, pairfectly."

Already she was gathering her forces, although no definite purpose outlined itself in the chaos of her thoughts.
"It is located on a grapefruit ranch known as the Trevino hacienda, about two hundred miles due north of Limasito. Wiley made the best of his time while I was laid by the heels, but his treachery didn't do him any good, in the end. He found the Pool, but another had been before him; old Tia Juana, herself!" Willa's lips moved, but no sound came from them.
