"I will call Aunt Mary."
The two women, seeing dimly through their tears at times, went over the contents of the private safe. There were letters that told of the past - of the happy days of love and courtship, and of the early married life. Viola put them sacredly aside, and delved more deeply into the strong box. "It was like Horace to keep something away from every one else," said his sister. "He did love a secret. But we don't seem to be getting at anything, Viola, that will tell us where there is any more money, and that's what we need now, more than anything else. At least you do, if LeGrand Blossom is right, and you intend to keep on living in the style you're used to." "I don't have to do that, Aunt Mary. Being poor would not frighten me." "I didn't think it would. Fortunately I have enough for both of us, though I won't spend anything on a big yacht nor a car that looks like a Fourth of July procession, however much I love the Star Spangled Banner. "Oh, no, we mustn't dream of keeping the big car nor the yacht," said Viola. "They are to be sold as soon as possible. I only hope they will bring a good price. But here are more papers, Aunt Mary. We must see what they are. Poor father had so many business interests. It's going to be a dreadful matter to straighten them all out." "Well, LeGrand Blossom and Captain Poland will help us." "Captain Poland?" questioned Viola. |
