Excerpt from The Daughter of David Kerr
The surprise which Gloria knew her unexpected arrival would occasion was even greater than she could imagine. Several things had happened in Belmont recently to disturb David Kerr, and he was in no frame of mind for further complications.
The stock-yards company was beginning to hint at certain favors it wished extended, and with an election coming on, Kerr was in no mood for such concessions. Worse still, the Belmont News had just changed ownership, and the new editor was not displaying that subservient fealty which had characterized all Belmont papers in the past. Already the News was snapping at his heels and asking questions which were extremely pointed.
