"To-night."
"To-night? But how?"
"That's a secret."
"But it is a secret I won't reveal," smiled Maisie.
"By aeroplane," said Lollie after a moment's hesitation, and told the story of Pinto's preparation.
"You'd better not tell me where you're going," warned Maisie, but she didn't stop Lollie in time. "Well, I wish you luck and I'll do my best for you." She stopped and kissed the girl.
"There's one warning I want to give you, Miss White," said Lollie as she stood in the doorway. "The colonel is a desperate man and I don't think somehow that he's coming through this with his life. He's been a good friend of mine up to a point and according to his lights, but you've been good and Mr. King has been more than good. Beware of the colonel now that you have him at bay! That is all!"
Then she was gone.
