"What cars?" asked the cooper.
"Why, the Philadelphia cars. Of course you knew it was there she was going?"
"Philadelphia!" exclaimed all, in surprise.
"Yes, the cars were almost there when I saw her. Who was that with her?"
"Mrs. Hardwick, her old nurse."
"I didn't like her looks."
"That's where we paddle in the same canoe," said Jack.
"She didn't seem to want me to speak to Ida," continued Charlie, "but hurried her off as quick as possible."
"There were reasons for that," said the cooper. "She wanted to keep her destination secret."
"I don't know what it was," said the boy, "but I don't like the woman's looks."
