were any others there besides Scotty, Jimmy
and himself; I told them it lay between them,
i. e., Scotty and himself. His reply was that
such things happen in the best of families. He
said that if he were in Jimmy’s place and Jim-
my was in his, he would say there was no malice
between them. I asked if he was sure that
Scotty hadn’t interfered in a family dispute.
He replied that Scotty didn’t have anything to
do with it; he was sorry, but it could not be
helped. Barney was lying on the floor near
the fire, covered with blood; his hands and
clothes were bloody; he didn’t appear to be
much hurt.
