“No, I was not; but it was enough to frighten anybody. It was all so dark and strange.”
“Should you be afraid to go again?”
“No,” said Fred, stoutly.
“Will you go, then?”
“What, alone?”
“No; both together.”
“I’ll go, if you will. When shall we go?”
“Now,” said Scarlett, firmly.
“Now?”
“Yes. I want to know where that place leads to; and I don’t like to feel that we were frightened because it was dark. Come along.”
