It was a terrible thing in its way, justthat, wasnt it? His mother had confessed tohim and Frank and Esta and Julia that she believed in ghosts. And that boy whohad held up the light the better to see his face. Also there would be moonlight trips to aninn that could be reached by boat, so they said. That would be to fix curiosity as wellas suspicion on him, assuredly, if any one was still about.

I dont suppose any of to-days papers would have anything aboutit yet. And so, at last, making his way to the boat and boarding it. And in it, as he could see from a bend in the road, a fewpale lights still twinkling. Yes sir, he is, sir, but hes nothere now, sir. Im not feeling as goodas I should, but Ill be all right. Ill bet Clyde and I can turn in a lower card than you twocan! Sondra asked, of a sudden,looking at him more closely. She promised to come up to that horse show over at Bristolweek after next, sure. And that boy whohad held up the light the better to see his face. This is a search warrant and this officer is here at mydirection. And thenSondra exclaiming: That reminds me! And Clyde saying: Well, I think Ill go up and get a drink,anyhow. And Mason now drewfrom his pocket a writ of search, which he had been careful tosecure. The spaciousness and grandeur of this room ascontrasted with the one he occupied in Lycurgus. Motherworries so about Stuart and me fooling around these lakes as itis. They might even lynch him before he could so much as secure a fairtrial. Besides, itsnot likely yet, didnt Sondra say she just heard it from BlancheLocke over the phone?

I always hate to hear of anything like that, dont you? I was going to call up to-dayto see where you were. His going out tothe Cranstons in their car. And Mason now drewfrom his pocket a writ of search, which he had been careful tosecure. It looks to me as though no one was going over toGreenwood much this year. He had not even stopped to look, climbing out so hastily ashe did. I am sorry, Madam, but I am compelled to ask you to show us hisroom. I shouldnt have come over to-night, Isuppose. If you want to make thatfor the lunches, Sonny, Ill take it. See you after lunch on the beach, though. Im surethey can tell you all about him at their residence, if you mustknow. But the two having proceeded to Clydes room, they began to lookhere and there.
