"
Why
,
certainly
,
I
know
it
,
"
replied
Callum
.
"
What
's
the
matter
?
"
"
Well
,
you
know
,
"
said
the
young
individual
,
whose
name
was
Richard
Pethick
,
looking
at
Callum
with
a
look
of
almost
strained
affection
,
"
I
would
n't
come
to
you
with
any
story
that
I
thought
would
hurt
your
feelings
or
that
you
ought
n't
to
know
about
,
but
I
do
think
you
ought
to
know
about
this
.
"
He
pulled
at
a
high
white
collar
which
was
choking
his
neck
.
"
I
know
you
would
n't
,
Pethick
,
"
replied
Callum
;
very
much
interested
.
"
What
is
it
?
What
's
the
point
?
"
"
Well
,
I
do
n't
like
to
say
anything
,
"
replied
Pethick
,
"
but
that
fellow
Hibbs
is
saying
things
around
here
about
your
sister
.
"
"
What
's
that
?
"
exclaimed
Callum
,
straightening
up
in
the
most
dynamic
way
and
bethinking
him
of
the
approved
social
procedure
in
all
such
cases
.
He
should
be
very
angry
.
He
should
demand
and
exact
proper
satisfaction
in
some
form
or
other
--
by
blows
very
likely
if
his
honor
had
been
in
any
way
impugned
.
"
What
is
it
he
says
about
my
sister
?
What
right
has
he
to
mention
her
name
here
,
anyhow
?
He
does
n't
know
her
.
"
Pethick
affected
to
be
greatly
concerned
lest
he
cause
trouble
between
Callum
and
Hibbs
.
He
protested
that
he
did
not
want
to
,
when
,
in
reality
,
he
was
dying
to
tell
.
At
last
he
came
out
with
,
"
Why
,
he
's
circulated
the
yarn
that
your
sister
had
something
to
do
with
this
man
Cowperwood
,
who
was
tried
here
recently
,
and
that
that
's
why
he
's
just
gone
to
prison
.
"
"
What
's
that
?
"
exclaimed
Callum
,
losing
the
make-believe
of
the
unimportant
,
and
taking
on
the
serious
mien
of
some
one
who
feels
desperately
.
"
He
says
that
,
does
he
?
Where
is
he
?
I
want
to
see
if
he
'll
say
that
to
me
.
"
Some
of
the
stern
fighting
ability
of
his
father
showed
in
his
slender
,
rather
refined
young
face
.
"
Now
,
Callum
,
"
insisted
Pethick
,
realizing
the
genuine
storm
he
had
raised
,
and
being
a
little
fearful
of
the
result
,
"
do
be
careful
what
you
say
.
You
must
n't
have
a
row
in
here
.
You
know
it
's
against
the
rules
.
Besides
he
may
be
drunk
.
It
's
just
some
foolish
talk
he
's
heard
,
I
'm
sure
.
Now
,
for
goodness
'
sake
,
do
n't
get
so
excited
.
"
Pethick
,
having
evoked
the
storm
,
was
not
a
little
nervous
as
to
its
results
in
his
own
case
.
He
,
too
,
as
well
as
Callum
,
himself
as
the
tale-bearer
,
might
now
be
involved
.
But
Callum
by
now
was
not
so
easily
restrained
.
His
face
was
quite
pale
,
and
he
was
moving
toward
the
old
English
grill-room
,
where
Hibbs
happened
to
be
,
consuming
a
brandy-and-soda
with
a
friend
of
about
his
own
age
.
Callum
entered
and
called
him
.
