I raised myself in a sitting position so that ! could call out to them i known for T nad all contempt for esTeadropplng tven of the slightest kind, but the temptation of hearing for myself an explanation of the pusrllng events, which had caused me so much heartache, was too strong for me to resist. An overwhelming power laid my better instincts in the dust and forced me to remain perfectly still.

“I must admit It was something of a Bobk," Curtiss said, "especially When the last thing on earth I wanted to do was to make Bailie Jealous by entering into your plan.
