"Can one think of her in any other spirit? Have you any notion what will
happen to her?"
"Nothing's going to happen to her--if I can find her before the police
do."
"You don't mean you'd help her get away, Bel?"
"If it takes every dollar I've got in the world. Do you realize what it
means if she's caught and put on trial--either for murder or attempted
murder, as it turns out--in a case that's going to get the publicity
this is bound to? Do you imagine it will be possible then to keep your
name out of it? She's bound to tell her story in self-defense; and
inasmuch as she's good-looking enough to be acquitted on one pretext or
another, in all probability, the chances are in another six months
she'll be starring in a film based on a re-hash of this pretty little
affair."
"Then you will help me? I can count on you, Bel?"
"Help you?"
"Help get her away."
