Meditatively
Belknap
scratched
his
right
ear
.
"
But
just
the
same
,
there
certainly
is
something
to
this
other
idea
--
that
his
mind
was
turned
by
all
this
--
that
Alden
girl
forcing
him
on
the
one
hand
to
marry
her
while
the
other
girl
was
offering
to
marry
him
.
I
know
.
I
was
once
in
such
a
scrape
myself
.
"
And
here
he
paused
to
relate
that
to
Jephson
.
"
By
the
way
,
"
he
went
on
,
"
he
says
we
can
find
that
item
about
that
other
couple
drowning
in
The
Times
--
Union
of
about
June
18th
or
19th
.
"
"
All
right
,
"
replied
Jephson
,
"
I
'll
get
it
.
"
"
What
I
want
you
to
do
to-morrow
,
"
continued
Belknap
,
"
is
to
go
over
there
with
me
and
see
what
impression
you
get
of
him
.
I
'll
be
there
to
see
if
he
tells
it
all
to
you
in
the
same
way
.
I
want
your
own
individual
viewpoint
of
him
.
"
"
You
most
certainly
will
get
it
,
"
snapped
Jephson
.
Belknap
and
Jephson
proceeded
the
next
day
to
visit
Clyde
in
jail
.
And
Jephson
,
after
interviewing
him
and
meditating
once
more
on
his
strange
story
,
was
even
then
not
quite
able
to
make
up
his
mind
whether
Clyde
was
as
innocent
of
intending
to
strike
Roberta
as
he
said
,
or
not
.
For
if
he
were
,
how
could
he
have
swum
away
afterward
,
leaving
her
to
drown
?
Decidedly
it
would
be
more
difficult
for
a
jury
than
for
himself
,
even
,
to
be
convinced
.
At
the
same
time
,
there
was
that
contention
of
Belknap
's
as
to
the
possibility
of
Clyde
's
having
been
mentally
upset
or
unbalanced
at
the
time
that
he
accepted
The
Times
--
Union
plot
and
proceeded
to
act
on
it
.
That
might
be
true
,
of
course
,
yet
personally
,
to
Jephson
at
least
,
Clyde
appeared
to
be
wise
and
sane
enough
now
.
As
Jephson
saw
him
,
he
was
harder
and
more
cunning
than
Belknap
was
willing
to
believe
--
a
cunning
,
modified
of
course
,
by
certain
soft
and
winning
social
graces
for
which
one
could
hardly
help
liking
him
.
However
,
Clyde
was
by
no
means
as
willing
to
confide
in
Jephson
as
he
had
been
in
Belknap
--
an
attitude
which
did
little
to
attract
Jephson
to
him
at
first
.
At
the
same
time
,
there
was
about
Jephson
a
hard
,
integrated
earnestness
which
soon
convinced
Clyde
of
his
technical
,
if
not
his
emotional
interest
.
And
after
a
while
he
began
looking
toward
this
younger
man
,
even
more
than
toward
Belknap
as
the
one
who
might
do
most
for
him
.
"
Of
course
,
you
know
that
those
letters
which
Miss
Alden
wrote
you
are
very
strong
?
"
began
Jephson
,
after
hearing
Clyde
restate
his
story
.
"
Yes
,
sir
.
"
"
They
're
very
sad
to
any
one
who
does
n't
know
all
of
the
facts
,
and
on
that
account
they
are
likely
to
prejudice
any
jury
against
you
,
especially
when
they
're
put
alongside
Miss
Finchley
's
letters
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
suppose
they
might
,
"
replied
Clyde
,
"
but
then
,
she
was
n't
always
like
that
,
either
.
It
was
only
after
she
got
in
trouble
and
I
wanted
her
to
let
me
go
that
she
wrote
like
that
.
