"Let me think."
Harper was wavering.
A half-hour later the door of Ransom's room was flung hurriedly open, and loud cries for Mrs. Deo and the office clerk rang through the house. And when they and others came running at the call, it was to find Mr. Ransom and the lawyer hanging over the rec.u.mbent figure of the dead Hazen, and the deaf girl Anitra pointing at the group, with wild and inarticulate cries.
