“I have to run over and see Mr. Hazy,” Sanford said. “I am anxious to hear what he thinks of public reaction to Capell Lofft’s letter. The Chronicle announces it has had more than a hundred letters supporting it.” “That’s not many out of the whole population,” Sir Henry pointed out. “I had three hundred petition signers for his execution.” “True, but then Capell Lofft did not petition—his supporters are voluntary,” Sanford parried. Almost any other visit mentioned would have elicited an offer from David to accompany him, but the Hazy residence was off limits to him. Papa had let Marie go, but a girl on the catch for a title could not be expected to let mere principles stand in her way. He turned his attention to Benson instead. Ev was wearing a nice cagey expression on his face. Obviously he had some interesting plans. “What are you doing, Ev?” he asked. “I, too, must go out. I am meeting with Rawlins tonight.” “I'll run along with you,” David offered at once.
