I hardly anticipated an easy task when I undertook to learn who killed my dear lad. Besides, David will help me." "I have a postscript to add," smiled Bruce. "Sometimes, as you know, the postscript is of great importance." "No," said Jen, in an inflexible voice. "I go to punish the man who killed my boy.".
