“I believe you, and I thank and bless you,” said Drusilla.
And then the policeman touched his hat, and closed the door, and transmitted Mr. Hammond’s order to the cabman.
“Home.”
They drove back to the Morley House.
And there Dick and Anna made Drusilla take a glass of port wine and a biscuit, and go to bed.
All arose very early the next morning. Anna ordered the breakfast, that it might be ready when Drusilla should come down.
Dick soon joined her.
“You will write to grandpa, to-day?” inquired Anna.
“Not unless little Lenny is found. I dread the effect the news of the child’s loss would have upon him at his age, and I wish to spare him if possible,” answered Dick.
“But if Lenny is not found to-day, and grandpa gets no letter to-morrow, he will feel very anxious at not hearing from us.”
