That's all."
I then began to feel remorceful. I am of a forgiving Nature
naturaly and could not forget that but yesterday he had been
tender and loving, and had let me drive almost half the time. I
therfore said:
"If you can explain I will listen. But be breif. I am in no
mood for words."
Well, the long and short of it was that I was wrong, and
should not have jumped to conclusions. Because the Gray's house
had been robbed the night before, taking all the silver and Mr.
Gray's dress suit, as well as shirts and so on, and as their
_chauffeur_ had taken one of the maids out _incognito_ and gone
over a bank, returning at seven A. M. in a hired hack, there was
no way to follow the theif. So Tom had taken my car and would
have caught him, having found Mr. Gray's trowsers on a fense,
although torn, but that he ran into a tree because of going very
fast and skiding.
He would have gone through the wind-shield, but that it was
down.
I was by that time mollafied and sorry I had been so angry,
especialy as Tom said:
"Father ofered a hundred dollars reward for his capture,
and as you have been adviseing me to save money, I went after
the hundred.
