"By the way, Rob, I saw Rich Kendrick to-day. " Louis Gray detained his sister Roberta on the stairs as they stopped to exchange greetings on a certain evening in March. "It struck me suddenly that I hadn't seen him for a blue moon, and I asked him why he didn't come round when he was in town. He said he was sticking tight to that new business of his up in Eastman, but he admitted he was to be here over Sunday. I invited him round to-night, but to my surprise he wouldn't come. Said he had another engagement, of course -- thanked me fervently and all that -- but there was no getting him. It made me a bit suspicious of you, Bobby."
