"I'll make it up to that young one in some Way," Janet declared. "I can't bear to feel that her confidence is misplaced."
"Of course you'll do some Quixotic thing," Lee replied. "However, that is not our affair. Friday evening it certainly must be. Now the next thing is to find out the where, since we have found out the when. I must hie me to the sophs at once with this piece of news. How they will adore you, Janet. I've a mind not to tell them anything more than that we know it is to be Friday evening. You didn't happen to get the hour exactly?"
"I think we can approximate it, for I told my young miss that the fête would be from five to eight and she seemed to think that if she were to go early, she would not get back in time; and if she were to wait till late, she would not be able to get away soon enough, so we can presuppose that it will be about six o'clock."
"More cleverness on the part of Janet. I certainly shall not have you getting all the credit."
"There is no reason why I should. I am not particularly proud of playing the part of detective. I'd rather no one but ourselves should know."
"Your will is law, oh princess. I'll not tell." And Lee dashed out.
In about an hour, she came dashing back again.
"Such fun," she said, flinging herself upon the divan.
"Do tell us," said Teddy interestedly.
Lee punched a pillow into a more satisfactory position, and began: "Well, I went from here straight to Madge Ostrom's room. She certainly is a bright girl, and was perfectly delighted to have my information. So she and I went to Burton's."
