“Oh, yes! she holds her head up awful proud,” Cora observed in Nancy’s hearing. “But you just wait!”
“Wait for what, Cora?” asked one of the girls.
“Wait till I get a letter. I’ll know all about Miss Telltale soon.”
And after that Nancy’s worst fears were realized by the news that Jennie Bruce brought her. Jennie had managed to see and have a private interview with Bob Endress.
“And of course, he’s managed to do it,” grumbled Jennie.
“Done what? Oh! done what?” cried Nancy, clasping her hands.
“Well, Cora wormed something out of him. He told her how you were the girl who saved him from drowning last summer.”
“Then it’ll all come out!” groaned Nancy.
“That’s according. Cora knows where you lived before you came to Pinewood to school.”
“And she’ll write to Malden. I believe she has done so.”
