VOLNA was down before me the next morning waiting in a little room where we had had supper.
“I guessed Bob would be tired so I would not have him called,” she said. “I have been up an hour or more.”
“And Peggy, how is she?”
“Hungry. And breakfast is ready.”
“You slept well?”
“When I had stopped thinking. I couldn’t help it,” she said in answer to my shake of the head. “I was saying my lesson over and over, lest I should forget it. Do you know it?”
“Lesson?”
“All the names you mentioned so glibly last night at the station.”
I laughed. “Oh, we shan’t need to remember. We shan’t have any more bother. That man’s hint as to how to ask questions will carry us through. You’ll see.”
“Well, we must be quick, it’s nearly ten o’clock.”
