Chapter XVI
A GUARDED CONFERENCE With flaming eyes Winifred Waverly whirled upon her uncle. "Why do you suffer it?" she cried hotly. "The man knows that I was not deceived by his idiotic mask, he knows that I have told you, and still you let him go free where he pleases, swagger about with brawlers like that horrible Kid Bedloe, and dribble your money over the bars for drink and over the poker tables! Why do you suffer it?" A fleeting smile of deep satisfaction brightened Pollard's eyes.
