“Good evening,” said a smooth, low voice behind them, and they turned to face Norman Young.
“How are you?” replied Jack briefly, while Patricia murmured a response to the newcomer’s greeting.
“Clarice in?” queried Norman as he turned and went up the walk toward the house.
“I don’t know,” replied Patricia.
“I don’t like that fellow,” observed Jack, as the door closed upon Young.
“You don’t? Why?”
“Queer acting guy. Never caught him in anything; in fact I don’t know him very well, but I don’t trust him. Comes out and sits on the side lines to watch practice quite often, and he gives me the jitters. You know him well?”
“No, I don’t. I was introduced to him at Mrs. Brock’s house. He’s her secretary.”
“Who’s Mrs. Brock?”
Briefly Patricia told him of their contact with the eccentric inhabitant of Big House.
