The exclamation had the effect of a long-drawn whistle. "Then you probably were the artist friend she spoke of." "I probably was." Dicky's tone was grim. I knew how near his temper was to exploding, and the look which I beheld on the face of Mr. Birdsall, the little real estate agent, galvanized me into action.
