"Why he said to me just now," answered the disturbed girl, "'you girls better keep away from Acorn Island.
"Hello, Bobs," Worth's greeting was casual. "Thought I'd stop and tell you I was on my way you know." A glance of understanding passed between them. "Better come along?" "I'd like to," she smiled.
