“Well, some one must have. Dad found out about it.”
“Gee! Did he? What did he say?”
“Not much. I mean—oh, he read me a lecture, of course. Said I was old enough to know better than to do such things. I thought maybe you’d told Phebe.”
“I didn’t. Even if I had, though, no one else would have heard. Phebe’s a wonder at keeping a secret. She’s almost like a boy. If you tell her not to tell you can’t drag it out of her!”
“Then it must have been Frank,” said Arnold, “but he swears he hasn’t opened his mouth about it.”
“Maybe some one saw us from the Head. They might have, you know. With a pair of glasses——”
“There weren’t any boats around, were there?”
“Nowhere near. Did your father tell you not to sail the Aydee any more?”
“No, but I was scared he was going to. He said I must not go in the water again this summer, though.”
