Judy greeted them from the big rocking chair—where she sat big-eyed and weary, but a most interesting spectacle.
"Launcelot went to the camp and found that the gipsies had gone, so we knew you couldn't have seen them—" began the Judge, and at that Judy interrupted him.
"But I did see them, grandfather," she said, "I went to the camp."
"And were they there?" asked Launcelot
"Yes."
"Were they packing while you were there?"
"No."
"I wonder what made them leave so suddenly," and Launcelot and the
Judge and Dr. Grennell looked at each other.
"Did you give them anything, Judy?" asked the Judge.
"Nothing but twenty-five cents. They were horrid, and the old woman wanted me to give my chain and Spanish coin. She knew an awful lot and I was crazy to hear the rest of my fortune, but I couldn't give away my coin."
