“First I’m going to get some fresh air and some fresh water,” announced Helen. “Then let’s go.”
“Go?” repeated Linda. “Why, we just came.”
Helen looked puzzled.
“But didn’t you come for me?” she asked. “And now that you’ve set me free——”
“We weren’t sure that you’d be here,” explained Linda. “In fact, we didn’t expect to find you—we thought you were with Mrs. Fishberry. We really came to explore.”
“Explore?”
“Yes. The tower—the ghost you were so frightened of.” Linda did not add that she had seen it herself.
“Oh, maybe that was my imagination,” returned Helen, lightly. “I don’t care about it now that everything has come back. All I want is to find my old nurse—Mrs. Smalley.”
“Mrs. Smalley?” repeated Dot. “You don’t mean Mrs. Fishberry?”
“No, I don’t. I’ll tell you all about it, while we explore the house, if you insist on doing that.”
