Only thing she asked me when I came in was what he had been killed with.

I said it looked as if he had been struck from behind with a pistol butt, and then she collapsed.

Couldn't get a thing out of her--just cried, and begged me to go away; said she'd be all right, if left alone.

Blamed if I know what to do with a woman like that--over such a fellow as Le Gaire too! By Gad, I supposed Billie had more sense.

When she wouldn't talk to me I proposed sending you in to explain matters.
