“Some one coming after us, do you mean?”
“Yes.”
“Who was it—Danny Rugg?” asked Bert. “He isn’t mean any more. He used to follow you and throw stones at you, but he doesn’t any more.”
“No, it wasn’t Danny Rugg,” Nan answered.
“Who then?”
“It was an old woman.”
“An old woman!” exclaimed Bert. “Do you mean it was the same one who left Baby May?”
“I couldn’t be sure about that,” replied Nan, once more glancing back over her shoulder. “But it was some old woman. She has been following us for two blocks.”
“Wait a minute—we’ll fool her the way detectives do!” exclaimed Bert, not explaining how he happened to know anything about detectives.
“What you going to do?” asked Nan.
