Chapter VI
WINIFRED JUDGES A MAN There was a puzzled frown in her eyes, a faint flush tingeing her cheeks as, withdrawing her regard from Thornton's departure, she looked to Templeton and asked quickly: "Why did he call Henry Pollard a rattlesnake?" A faint smile for a moment threatened to drive the sternness away from Templeton's lips. But it was gone in a quick tightening of the mouth, and he answered briefly. "He didn't know that you knew Pollard."
