“Yes, that’s logical,” admitted Miss Carlton. “But what can you do, dear?”
“I’m going to fly right out to Hollywood tomorrow, after I give the Ladybug a thorough inspection.”
Miss Carlton sighed, this time not in relief.
“Then you’ll be home only one night!”
“I can’t help that, Aunt Emily. I must go. I just have to. I’ll stop and see Mr. Eckert at St. Louis, on my way.”
Dot’s eyes lighted up with sudden inspiration.
“May I go with you, Linda?” she asked.
“May you!” Linda repeated. “Oh, Dot, would you? I’d just love it!”
“And I’d feel safer,” put in her Aunt Emily.
“It’s decided, then,” announced Dot. “I’m thrilled to death!... Oh, Linda, think of seeing Hollywood. The movies being made—and the stars themselves! We’ll have a marvellous time.”
