CHAPTER FIVE BARBARA had difficulty falling{ asleep that night. Every time she closed her eves she seemed to see that accusing look on Dugan Blake's face. Barbara knew she'd have to offer an apology, but that wouldn't be easy. She didn't get a chance until the next night, while they were waiting for Larry Grover to take them for a drive, A ! “Dugan,” she said suddenly, “I'm sorry about last night. Uncle Hank made me feel like a heel. He—he told me a lot of things about you that I didn't know, and—and—" “And what?” he prompted. “Well, T have a high regard for Uncle Hank's opinion of people. He's never far from right.” “Then youre still leaving some room for doubt.” He sighed broadly. “Don’t blame you, though. You've got to watch these redskins. Never can teil about them.” She laughed. “Youre proud of vour Indian ancestry, though, aren't you?” “Darned right.
