“When do you suppose we’ll hear why we are here to visit?” inquired Doris of Kitty.
“Well, maybe the Misses Gates will tell us soon, and that will be helpful to place the motive.”
Far into the night the girls continued to talk, but at length, from sheer weariness, they turned over on their sides and tried to sleep.
“Hope no one finds Wags here,” Doris murmured drowsily as she closed her eyes. “We must wake up early in the morning and get him out of the house before any one is up.”
CHAPTER XI
A SORROWFUL ROMANCE
Doris and Kitty fully intended to awaken early, but when they did open their eyes the sun was streaming brightly in at the windows and some one was pounding on their door.
“Come in,” Doris murmured sleepily.
Cora Sully thrust her head in at the door and glared at the girls.
“Do you think you can get your breakfast in bed?” she demanded harshly.
“What time is it?” Doris asked, sitting up and nudging Kitty, as a signal for her to keep Wags hidden under the covers.
