She voiced this last desire in hushed tones. The girls laughed even while they drew their chairs still closer to the fire. "Such a chance!" gibed Will, but Betty's eyes were shining in the glow of the fire-light. "Oh, if we only could!" she whispered softly. "If we could only get the stuff stolen from Deepdale!"
