CHAPTER XVI
AMY TAKES A HAND
Clint told Amy about Penny's violin without mentioning the latter's suspicion. Amy listened with darkening face and when Clint had ended said: "Dreer, eh? It's the sort of thing you'd expect from him. What's Penny going to do?"
Clint explained about the scholarship and Amy nodded. "I see. I guess he's right. Dreer would be sure to go to Josh and Penny'd get what-for; and then it would be good-bye, scholarship! Unless--" Amy paused thoughtfully.
"Unless what?"
"Unless he could induce our friend Dreer to 'fess up."
"Not likely!"
"N-no, not very. Still--Well, I'm sorry for old Penny."
"Durkin asked me not to say anything about it, Amy."
"So you told me?" laughed the other.
