Chapter V
Westover hardly believed him. But when he got on his own things again, Jeff joined him in his hat and overcoat, and they went out together. It was another carriage that stopped the way now, and once more the barker made the night ring with what Westover felt his heartless and shameless cries for Miss Lynde's carriage. After a maddening delay, it lagged up to the curb and Jeff pulled the door open. "Hello!" he said.
