"Ya-as. That's so. You are his niece, too, I s'pose."
"Whose niece? Uncle Amazon's? I suppose I am," Louise gayly replied, "though when I came I had no idea there was a second uncle down here on the Cape."
"What's that?" demanded Betty Gallup, her speech crackling like a rifle shot.
"I had not heard before of Cap'n Amazon," the girl explained. "You see, for several reasons, I have known very little about my mother's kinfolk. She died when I was a baby. We have traveled a good deal, father and I."
"I see. I been told you worked for them movin' pictures. Mandy Card was over to my house last night. Well! what do you think of your Uncle Am'zon?"
"I can express no opinion until I have met him," Louise returned, again dimpling.
"Haven't ye seen him?" gasped Betty in astonishment.
"Not yet."
"Ye didn't see him when he came last night?"
"I was in bed."
