They
went
downstairs
to
the
dining
-
room
for
breakfast
,
and
after
breakfast
he
told
her
he
had
some
insurance
business
to
attend
to
.
“
I
guess
while
I
’
m
doing
it
you
’
d
better
step
out
and
buy
yourself
whatever
you
need
.
”
He
smiled
,
and
added
with
an
embarrassed
laugh
:
“
You
know
I
always
wanted
you
to
beat
all
the
other
girls
.
”
He
drew
something
from
his
pocket
,
and
pushed
it
across
the
table
to
her
;
and
she
saw
that
he
had
given
her
two
twenty
-
dollar
bills
.
“
If
it
ain
’
t
enough
there
’
s
more
where
that
come
from
—
I
want
you
to
beat
’
em
all
hollow
,
”
he
repeated
.
She
flushed
and
tried
to
stammer
out
her
thanks
,
but
he
had
pushed
back
his
chair
and
was
leading
the
way
out
of
the
dining
-
room
.
In
the
hall
he
paused
a
minute
to
say
that
if
it
suited
her
they
would
take
the
three
o
’
clock
train
back
to
North
Dormer
;
then
he
took
his
hat
and
coat
from
the
rack
and
went
out
.
A
few
minutes
later
Charity
went
out
,
too
.
She
had
watched
to
see
in
what
direction
he
was
going
,
and
she
took
the
opposite
way
and
walked
quickly
down
the
main
street
to
the
brick
building
on
the
corner
of
Lake
Avenue
.
There
she
paused
to
look
cautiously
up
and
down
the
thoroughfare
,
and
then
climbed
the
brass
-
bound
stairs
to
Dr
.
Merkle
’
s
door
.
The
same
bushy
-
headed
mulatto
girl
admitted
her
,
and
after
the
same
interval
of
waiting
in
the
red
plush
parlor
she
was
once
more
summoned
to
Dr
.
Merkle
’
s
office
.
The
doctor
received
her
without
surprise
,
and
led
her
into
the
inner
plush
sanctuary
.
“
I
thought
you
’
d
be
back
,
but
you
’
ve
come
a
mite
too
soon
:
I
told
you
to
be
patient
and
not
fret
,
”
she
observed
,
after
a
pause
of
penetrating
scrutiny
.
Charity
drew
the
money
from
her
breast
.
“
I
’
ve
come
to
get
my
blue
brooch
,
”
she
said
,
flushing
.
“
Your
brooch
?
”
Dr
.
Merkle
appeared
not
to
remember
.
“
My
,
yes
—
I
get
so
many
things
of
that
kind
.
Well
,
my
dear
,
you
’
ll
have
to
wait
while
I
get
it
out
of
the
safe
.
I
don
’
t
leave
valuables
like
that
laying
round
like
the
noospaper
.
”
She
disappeared
for
a
moment
,
and
returned
with
a
bit
of
twisted
-
up
tissue
paper
from
which
she
unwrapped
the
brooch
.
Charity
,
as
she
looked
at
it
,
felt
a
stir
of
warmth
at
her
heart
.
She
held
out
an
eager
hand
.
“
Have
you
got
the
change
?
”
she
asked
a
little
breathlessly
,
laying
one
of
the
twenty
-
dollar
bills
on
the
table
.
