Penny kept close watch of the road, for the heavy, wet snow made visibility very poor. She was greatly relieved when they reached the outskirts of the city and a wide boulevard which followed the curve of the frozen river.
Seeing the lights of Riverview, the strange girl began to watch the streets intently.
“Just let me out anywhere,” she said presently.
“Anywhere?” Penny repeated.
“Will we pass the river docks on this road?”
“Yes, at the next turn.”
“Then let me off there, please.”
“The river docks!” exclaimed Louise. “At this time of night? No boats are running and there are no houses or business places close by. Only deserted fish houses and the like.”
“Please, that’s where I want to get off.”
Penny and Louise gave up trying to figure out their strange passenger. At the next turn in the road, they pulled up near a dimly lighted street corner.
