"And Reube said he'd seen you," he ended.
"Reube said he'd seen me," echoed Pamela, "are you sure, Midget?"
Hughie considered; then he repeated carefully:
"Mrs. Ensor said 'did you see the young lady?' and Reube said 'yes'."
"Ah!" breathed Pamela, low, to herself. Then she left her position at the bed foot, and moved about the room in a restless silent fashion, her eyes on the ground. At last she came to a stand by the window.
Hughie made no remark; his eyes followed her, and he was much interested; there was plainly something on foot not understandable at first.
"How was I--she--dressed?" asked Pamela suddenly.
"Oh, your usual things--what you had on the boat," said Hughie vaguely.
"Brown shoes and stockings?" Pam demanded.
Hughie thought about it. Then he said he couldn't see so far.
