Mary Bransford had not moved from her position on the porch.

Sanderson watched Dale ride away, then he smiled at Mary and entered the house.
Mary followed him.

She saw Owen standing in the sitting-room, and her face showed her surprise.
Sanderson explained.

"Owen an' me framed up on Dale," he said.
