CHAPTER XXIV
THE GHOST CAUGHT
"When do you expect to hear about little Dodo?" asked Grace, as the girls sat together on a log in front of the fire, "like roosting chickens," Will was ungallant enough to remark.
"Almost any day now," replied Mollie. "They were to wait for the most favorable time for the operation, and the specialist, so mamma wrote, could not exactly fix on the day. But I am anxious to hear."
"I should think you would be. Poor little Dodo! I'd give anything to hear her say now 'Has oo dot any tandy?'"
"Don't," spoke Betty in a low tone to Grace, for she saw the tears in Mollie's eyes.
"It was the strangest thing how Stone and Kennedy should turn out to be the two chaps in the auto," remarked Will, to change the subject. "And you have never let on that Grace was the girl on the horse?'
"Never," answered Amy. "Don't say after this that girls can't keep a secret."
