CHAPTER V
MALLOWBANKS

Mallowbanks, November third.

Carin, dear:

Where did I leave off? Oh, yes, where I went running down the big dark, winding corridors, knocking and knocking at the strange doors!

Well, presently one of them, far away from where I was, opened, and a voice called:

“What is it? Oh, what is it?”

“Is it you, Aunt Lorena,” I cried, running toward the voice.

“Yes, yes, Azalea. Tell me what is the matter.”

“Grandmother has gone out in the garden in her night clothes. I tried to follow her, but I’ve lost her somewhere.”
