“Say, boy, I’d look out for Ally if I were you,” said Ogden when again they were alone.

“Oh, she’s lots of fun.”

“Yes, she means to be; but she’s in wrong with Miss Frink. It seems she is here, entirely under false pretenses.”

Hugh turned and stared down at his mentor.

“Indeed!” he replied. “How shocking!”

“Miss Frink has found it out,” said Ogden, flushing, “and through me. That’s the worst of it.”

“A little stone-throwing in your glass house, eh?”

“Totally unintentional.” And Ogden repeated what had taken place.

Hugh stared into space. He hated to have people get in wrong. It disturbed him all the time that Ally should have been such a fool as to deserve to get in wrong with the courts.
