“That’s all right, but you can’t fool me! And you’ve got to stop it, Dan Vinton! If you don’t I’ll go to Collins and tell him!”
“Tell him what?” asked Dan smilingly.
“Tell him what I know!”
“Well, what do you know, Tubby?”
“I know you never did it!”
“How do you know that?”
Tubby hesitated. Then:
“Because you were here in your room at ten o’clock,” he replied weakly.
