Mrs. Shelly, with a kindly good-night to Bruce, trotted after them, fumbling with her watch pocket.

Jen started, and looked sharply at the old man, who, to all appearances, was answering his questions with all possible candor. She said she had come because she felt that if she talked with me I might be better able to understand Alfred when he came, and that she had seen that the judge was very determined, and she thoroughly recognised his force of character.
