"Chuck, what is it?" Mrs. Vincent asked eagerly.
For answer Miss Carter put Don into her arms.
The next few minutes were taken up by repeated explanations, while Don, held tight by his father's big hand, helped out by many illuminating bits of information about "ve bad mans and the silly woman."
"And I have you to thank, my dear." Mr. Keith held out his hand to Janet as they rose to go.
Chuck laughed, "Wrong guess, Uncle. This is the one," and he pointed to Phyllis.
Mr. Keith laughed, and took Phyllis's hand and gave it a mighty squeeze.
"Some day I will thank you for what you have done for me," he said huskily, "all of you. You have made me the happiest man in the world."
Mrs. Vincent kissed both the girls, and there was a glint of tears in her soft gray eyes as she shook hands with Miss Carter.
Chuck was the only one who was quite master of himself. He nodded, as befitted a hero, to them all, until he came to Phyllis.
"S'long," he said, taking her hand. "I'll see you to-morrow at two."
