CHAPTER XII
“Have we a new maid, Kurt?” asked Kingdon at the breakfast table next morning. “I had a glimpse of a pretty little girl talking to Agatha.”
“Mrs. Kingdon sent her here to do the sewing and look after the children,” explained Kurt.
“And she’s got a funny name,” said Francis. “Her name is Bobbie Burr.”
Hebler’s fork fell with a clatter.
“Bobbie Burr!” he exclaimed in amazement.
“Bobbie Burr!” echoed Kingdon.
“Where is she? Let me see her at once. She’s the very person I am looking for!”
“I’ll go and get her,” offered Billy, running from the room.
