"I insist on your going," rejoined the mother, "and that at once." “Reckon you won’t try that again,” grunted Harper when once again they were proceeding towards what the boy imagined would be some sort of prison. “Mother dear, must I be the Kingthorpe heir?” “Yes,” Whitney said quickly, “the sooner any stain is removed from a member of the Service the better. We are not used to traitors!”.
