“This man had a rowboat. I wonder where he came from. Greycliff, very likely, the village, I mean.”
“Isn’t the road to Greycliff up there along the cliffs?”
“No; it turns away from the lake shore and there are big thick woods that you could get lost in, they say.”
“By the way, girls,” said Juliet, “we haven’t heard anything of the ‘Woman in Black’ this year, have we?”
“Wow!” said Betty, half in fun, but with a “creepy” feeling, as she said it. “Come on, girls, it gets dark earlier now, and I don’t want to talk about the ‘Woman in Black’ or any kind of ghostesses till we get back home.”
“What’s that about the ‘Woman in Black’?” inquired Pauline.
“Ask Isabel; she saw her, so she says.”
CHAPTER IX.
THE CAVE MAN.
A few days after the beach party, Isabel and Betty fell in together as they came out from the library building after class.
“I’m through for the day!” exclaimed Isabel joyously. “This is my easy day, and by good luck one of my classes doesn’t recite tomorrow. Dr. Carver is sick, hasn’t heard a class today and I heard Miss Randolph tell Miss West to prepare to take her classes tomorrow.”
