“Now why did he do that?” asked Isabel rather belligerently.
“Perhaps he saw that we were scared,” suggested Cathalina.
“We weren’t scared, were we?”
“Startled and surprised, anyhow.”
“But he went as if he didn’t want to come here when we were around. I believe he had some private business here,” said Hilary. “It’s funny. And then there’s that ring.”
“Is there any way to get up to the top of the cliffs here? Maybe people sometimes come here for a short cut.”
“Maybe so, Pauline; anyhow, let’s leave before any more mysterious strangers appear. Some way I didn’t like his looks, if he did smile at us!”
“Neither did I, Hilary,” said Betty. “It made me feel funny, some way and I thought of that time I met the brother of Louise the night of our ghost party last year.”
“He came in a motor boat, didn’t he?”
“Yes.”
