“The voice did sound a little like his. But why would he come here?”
“Maybe we’ve under-rated George Emory. Why, all this time he may have been trying to get information from us.”
“He did ask us quite a few questions, particularly about your father.”
“And he seemed to know a lot about that outlaw radio station, Lou. Maybe he tried to throw us off the track by suggesting that we watch old Jake Skagway.”
“We certainly fell for it, Penny.”
“We did, if you assume that George Emory is upstairs having a conference with Mrs. Deline and the lighthouse keeper. But we’re not sure.”
“No, we’re not, Penny. One easily can be mistaken in voices.”
Determined to hear more, Penny cautiously climbed up on the radio table, so that her head and ear were close to the ceiling.
“Can you make out anything?” Louise whispered.
Penny shook her head in disgust. After a few minutes she dropped lightly down from the table.
