I Just want you to tell me what happened, Marie, and where he went." She wiped her eyes. "I'd been buying some' things and was a little late getting home." she said unsteadily. "He came up the walk behind me on a run. He scared me the way he looked. Oh, Mr. Belknap, It was awful 1" "I know! I know I But what did he say and do? Give me yonr story first, then I'll tell mine!"
