That might answer for Moran, for he has no personal interest in the affair.

But it's altogether different with me.

It's merely accident that I rode in here this morning, and I immediately discover the woman I am engaged to marry was out all night riding around with a stranger, eating breakfast with him when I arrive.

Do you suppose that is pleasant ?" "No; yet my explanation ought to be sufficient." "Explanation! You have made none." "Oh, yes; Judge Moran told you the circumstances." I heard him stomp roughly across the floor, his spurs clanking.
"Explanation, nothing! Who is the fellow ?" "Really I don't know." "Don't know?
Do you mean to say you rode with him alone all night, and took breakfast with him this morning, without even learning his name ?" "He said his name was Galesworth, but I don't know that he told the truth." "You pretend indifference well," the man sneered.
"It is no pretence; I am indifferent.

Why should I be otherwise?
I am not interested in spies.
