CHAPTER XVI.
ON THE GRILL.
Not a word did Molly say to Nance or the unsuspecting Judy next morning about her appointment with President Walker.
"Don't forget Latin versification at ten," Nance had cautioned her as she left the sitting room a quarter before ten.
Molly had forgotten it and everything else except the matter in hand, but the President's word was law and she prepared to obey and skip the lecture.
The President was waiting for her in the little study. No one was about and an ominous quiet pervaded the whole place.
"Sit down," said Miss Walker, without replying to Molly's greeting of good morning. "So it's you, is it, who has been wandering about the grounds at night in a gray dressing gown, scaring the students? I need not tell you how disgusted and grieved I am, Miss Brown."
Molly turned as white as a sheet. She had never dreamed that Miss Walker suspected her of being the campus ghost.
