“I’m sure he’s Webb!”
“Webb?”
“The man who was pushed off the Snark and who stole Ben’s watch!”
“What would he be doing here?”
“That’s exactly what I want to learn! I’d like to get Ben’s watch back for him!” Quickly Penny pushed open the car door and jumped out.
“What are you going to do, Penny?” Louise asked anxiously.
“Follow that man and learn for certain who he is!”
“But it’s late,” Louise protested. “Besides, he looks like an unpleasant sort of individual.”
Penny paid no heed, but started off in pursuit of the stranger. He had already disappeared among the trees and was well on his way toward the lake. Not wishing to be deserted, Louise quickly followed her chum.
“He’s going to the professor’s shack!” Penny observed a moment later.
