"They took 'em up to the house."
"What house?"
"The old mansion back there on the hill."
"Who was in the crowd?"
"The old man and the old lady, and the two young ladies, and the three young men, and the doctor."
"The old lady!" cried Dick. "Who was she? What was her name?"
"I think they called her Sobber, same as one of the young fellows. They had her along to look after the girls."
"It must be the one from Boston!" cried Sam. "Tad's aunt, or whatever she is."
"Where did they pick her up?" asked Dick.
"Down at Fremville. She was waiting with one of the young men, a chap they called Koswell."
