FARRISS.
There was no mention of names, yet these people could scarcely fail to
recognise that this had reference to the Cavendish case. Their fears
would lead to this conclusion, and they could safely argue that nothing
else would require the presence in Haskell of a New York newspaper
writer. Besides, if the man Enright had recognised her and knew of her
connection with the _Star_, it was scarcely probable that he would be
wholly unfamiliar with the name of Farriss, the city editor. No, they
would be on guard now, and she could hope to win no confidence. The
thought of personal danger never once entered her mind. Timidity was
not part of her nature and she gave this phase of the matter no
thought. All that seriously troubled her was the knowledge that she
was handicapped in the case, unable to carry out the plans previously
outlined.
From now on she would be watched, guarded against, deceived. That
these people--Enright particularly--were playing a desperate game for
big stakes, was already evident.
