“Please tell,” Jasper replied, sounding neither arrogant nor inferior.

In truth, Jasper had given Old Master Law a call when he made his way over to Suesville to meet Gale. He had also asked Old Master Law something, and instead of forbidding Jasper to go, Old Master Law said something intriguing.

“I don’t see a problem with you going to meet Gale Hurlbutt, Jasper. While that old man has a short temper, he sees his dignity as more important than anything else. There’s no way he would push that aside and do anything to you.

“But be extremely cautious when dealing with Gale, Jasper. This man is very sly, and there’s more to him than his facade of being uncaring and retired.”

With those words still echoing in his ear, Jasper thought back to everything that had happened since he met Gale.

Jasper did indeed feel that Gale had more in mind for him, but there was no confirming whether they were good or bad plans.
