Chapter III
"He lays himself open to the suspicion," said Mr Armstrong slowly. "At any rate, as I vote we go put and get some fresh air, he will have to find some one else to make faces at. Come along." Tom did not at all like risking his seat, and particularly charged the lady next to him to preserve it from invasion at the risk of her life. Then wondering a little at Mr Armstrong's impatience to reach the fresh air, he followed him out.
