"Please do so then. And hurry, won't you?"
"You will ask no questions?"
"Certainly not!"
"You won't try to find out anything about my cave?"
"No, no, of course not," answered Mr. Phipps impatiently.
"And you will do as I tell you?"
"Yes."
"All right. I'll be back in a minute."
Mr. Phipps sat down nonplussed. "I never was so mixed up in my life," he grumbled. "I can't understand it at all. How did she ever get there?"
"She says it's a cave," suggested Tad.
