Capitolo 81
"I don't believe a word of it, says the housewife, angrily.
"This is an amazing revelation, the Mr. Ford" says the mediator,
seriously.
"It is a scurvy conspiracy, gentleman", returned Ford, hoarsely. "I submit,
gentleman, that the word of a boy likes it doesn't have to weigh against
mine. Besides, these gentlemen", pointing out Jim Morrison and Tom
Calder, "it will fortify my affirmation."
"We clearly do", raged Morrison. "That boy is a liar!"
"I have spoken the truth, gentleman, and they know him/it to them", affirmed Johnny,
resolvedly.
"Did Grant Thornton pay how much You to say this lie?" in demand
Willis Ford, furiously.
"I will respond to that question, the Mr. Ford", said Grant, thinking him/it
time to speak for him. "I paid him/it nothing, and he/she didn't know
you cultivate last evening that he had testified to the interview among you
and the Mr. Morrison."
"Your word is of any value", said Ford, disdainfully.
"That is a matter for the Mr. Reynolds to consider", answered Grant,
with calm.
"The Mr. Ford", says the mediator, seriously "I give more importance to
the testimony of this boy of telegraph that you appear; but then it
it will be considered that you are an interested party."
"It is me to be discredited on account of that that a boy of unfortunate telegraph
does it choose to say?" Asked Ford, bitterly. "Also imagining him/it worthy of
belief, my two friends think me, and it are three against one."
"Them Your friends are, then?" asked to the Mr. Reynolds, meaningfully.
Willis Ford lined up the text. It was not to his/her credit to admit that a
player of admitted hazard was his/her friend, he still knew whether to deny him/it
makes angered Morrison, and perhaps conducts him/it to do some awkward
revelations.
"I have not known them long, gentleman", he responded, it embarrassed, "but me
believe them they are felt friendly to me. One of them", he added,
maliciously, "it is an old friend of Grant Thornton."
"Yes", answered Grant, from any puzzled means. "Tom Calder is from
the same city as me, and I wish well him."
