"If he wishes," Bobby answered, a trifle amused at Robinson's obvious fancy of a collusion between Paredes and himself. Robinson jerked his head toward the window. "I've been watching the preparations out there. I guess when he's laid away you'll be thinking about having the will read." "No hurry," Bobby answered with a quick intake of breath. "I suppose not," Robinson sneered, "since everybody knows well enough what's in it." Bobby arose. Robinson still sneered. "You'll be at the grave  as chief mourner?"

yself at your service here--if Bobby permits it. Could you ask more?" Bobby shrank from the man with whom he had idled away so much time and money. That fleeting, satanic impression of yesterday came back, sharper, more alarming. Paredes's clear challenge to the district attorney was the measure of his strength. His mind was subtler than theirs. His reserve and easy daring mastered them all; and always, as now, he laughed at the futility of their efforts to sound his purposes, to limit his freedom of action. Bobby didn't care to meet the uncommunicative eyes whose depths he had never been able to explore. Was there a special power there that could control the destinies of other people, that might make men walk unconsciously to accomplish the ends of an unscrupulous brain? The district attorney appeared as much at sea as the others. "Thanks," he said dryly to Paredes. And glancing at Bobby, he asked with a hollow scorn: "You've no objection to the gentleman visiting you for the present?
