"Why," answered Miss Sterling, "I think I should keep still unless
I were asked. In that case I should tell all I knew."
"Oh, dear, I hate to squeal!"
"Maybe you won't have to. I hope not!"
"What do you s'pose she went off with Mr. Tenney for?"
Miss Sterling shook her head.
"He's a widower! You don't s'pose—?" Miss Crilly giggled.
The other shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, anyway, there'll be a row till she's found! Gracious! I was so upset I couldn't eat much breakfast! I told Mis' Albright finally—I couldn't keep it a minute longer. Then I came up here. You don't s'pose she's gone luny, do you? She was so upset about goin' to that weddin'!"
"No, it isn't that!" decided Miss Sterling. "Mrs. Dick is not the kind to go crazy."
"Somebody's comin'!" Miss Crilly darted to the closet and shut herself in.
