“Mollie,” Bab cried as soon as the door closed on Mr. Latham, “I surrender. And I humbly beg your pardon. You are a better detective than I am. What is the discovery of the Boy Raffles compared with your bringing to light the family history of poor little Eunice! Just think, instead of being a poor, despised Indian girl, Eunice is heiress to a large fortune.”
“Then you believe in me now, Bab!” Mollie rejoined. “I have always thought Eunice was in some way connected with the Latham family.”
“Girls,” Miss Stuart cautioned quietly, “when you take Eunice to her grandmother, at Naki’s house, say nothing. Remember, you are to speak to no one of what happened this afternoon.”
CHAPTER XXII
THE AUTOMOBILE WINS
Immediately after breakfast, next morning, “The Automobile Girls” started in Ruth’s car for Naki’s house in Pittsfield.
Miss Stuart had decided that it would be best to have Eunice out of the way when she and Mr. Latham made their call on the grandmother.
So the girls hurried off after Eunice.
