“It isn’t that so much,” Bob said slowly. “But just think, now. We find her all worked up over something she saw and heard in this cabin. She’s deeply grateful to us for finding Helen and yet, she lets us come over here and come in without a word. Now wouldn’t you have thought that she would have insisted on having Jacques and her husband come with us?”
“Of course I’d thought of that too, but perhaps in the excitement, she didn’t think of it.”
“Maybe that’s it but all the same I’m more inclined to think that they know something, than I’ve been at any time before.”
“It seems to be a mystery within a mystery all right,” Jack declared.
“Another thing that worries me is about those traps. How could a body get up to that window and hold up that thing as he did without stepping on that trap unless he knew it was there? Of course, it would be easy enough if he did know it but if he didn’t I can’t understand it.”
“And they and Jacques are the only ones except ourselves who do know about them.”
“Exactly.”
“But you mustn’t overlook the possibility that whoever it is that’s cutting up these didos might have been watching when we set them.”
“That’s true too, but I don’t believe it.”
“Neither do I, but it’s not impossible.”
