He
slips
away
,
frightened
,
a
moral
coward
,
just
as
we
'll
have
to
contend
from
the
first
,
anxious
to
stand
well
with
his
uncle
and
not
lose
his
place
in
this
world
.
Does
n't
that
explain
it
?
"
"
About
as
well
as
anything
could
explain
it
,
Reuben
,
I
think
.
In
fact
,
I
think
it
's
a
plausible
explanation
and
I
congratulate
you
.
I
do
n't
see
how
any
one
could
hope
to
find
a
better
.
If
that
does
n't
get
him
off
,
or
bring
about
a
disagreement
,
at
least
we
might
get
him
off
with
,
well
,
say
,
twenty
years
,
do
n't
you
think
?
"
And
very
much
cheered
,
he
got
up
,
and
after
eyeing
his
long
,
thin
associate
admiringly
,
added
:
"
Fine
!
"
while
Jephson
,
his
blue
eyes
for
all
the
world
like
windless
,
still
pools
,
looked
steadily
back
.
"
But
of
course
you
know
what
that
means
?
"
Jephson
now
added
,
calmly
and
softly
.
"
That
we
have
to
put
him
on
the
witness
stand
?
Surely
,
surely
.
I
see
that
well
enough
.
But
it
's
his
only
chance
.
"
"
And
he
wo
n't
strike
people
as
a
very
steady
or
convincing
fellow
,
I
'm
afraid
--
too
nervous
and
emotional
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
know
all
that
,
"
replied
Belknap
,
quickly
.
"
He
's
easily
rattled
.
And
Mason
will
go
after
him
like
a
wild
bull
.
But
we
'll
have
to
coach
him
as
to
all
this
--
drill
him
.
Make
him
understand
that
it
's
his
only
chance
--
that
his
very
life
depends
on
it
.
Drill
him
for
months
.
"
"
If
he
fails
,
then
he
's
gone
.
If
only
we
could
do
something
to
give
him
courage
--
teach
him
to
act
it
out
"
Jephson
's
eyes
seemed
to
be
gazing
directly
before
him
at
the
very
courtroom
scene
in
which
Clyde
on
the
stand
would
have
Mason
before
him
.
And
then
picking
up
Roberta
's
letters
(
copies
of
them
furnished
by
Mason
)
and
looking
at
them
,
he
concluded
:
"
If
it
only
were
n't
for
these
--
here
.
"
He
weighed
them
up
and
down
in
his
hand
.
"
Christ
!
"
he
finally
concluded
,
darkly
.
"
What
a
case
!
But
we
're
not
licked
yet
,
not
by
a
darn
sight
!
Why
,
we
have
n't
begun
to
fight
yet
.
And
we
'll
get
a
lot
of
publicity
,
anyhow
.
By
the
way
,
"
he
added
,
"
I
'm
having
a
fellow
I
know
down
near
Big
Bittern
dredge
for
that
camera
to-night
.
Wish
me
luck
.
