Galbraith of theft and
reinstate him in the young man's confidence. If only that could be the
answer to the riddle, how thankful he would be!
Well, until he could be brought face to face with the capitalist, it
was futile to attempt to unravel the enigma. How he longed in his
bewilderment for the sympathy and counsel of a fresh perspective! But
on Tiny's discretion he could place no reliance and even had he been
able to do so, everything within him shrank from the disloyalty of
voicing evil against his friends until he had proof. Delight was also
an impossible confidant because of her recently discovered relationship
to the Galbraith family. To breathe a word which might at this
delicate juncture prejudice her against her new relatives would be
contemptible. No, there was nothing to be done but be patient and
maintain in the meantime as close a semblance to a normal attitude as
was possible.
Fortunately the silence that settled down upon the silvered cottage
caused no surprise to any of its occupants. Having been warned not to
chatter, Celestina observed a welcome quietness perfectly understood.
