"I don't think so!" he whispered, joy and triumph in his voice. "Where you lead I will follow. By and by I hope we will walk abreast."
CHAPTER XX.
INTO A TRAP.
When Buck and Winnie walked into the house, they walked into a trap, though the laying of a trap for them was not contemplated by Mr. Lee.
Encountering none of the servants, Winnie conducted Badger into the parlor.
"Merriwell will be here soon, I allow."
"We're not afraid of Merriwell!"
"Only thinking that you and I want to have this meeting all to ourselves. Then the servant that shows Merriwell up, if one does, may see us, and I calculate that I ain't hankering to meet up with any of your servants on this trip. None whatever!"
But Winnie was not disturbed.
