There are so many Scout subjects I could study when I have so much time and I don't care to take the trouble. I really am stronger perhaps than I pretend to be." Kara's tone was so unhappy and listless that Mr. Hammond's agreeable face clouded. "Your state of mind is due to the fact that you have not recovered from the shock of your fall.
In a flash the hands went up, for the revolver which T. X. held was pressed uncomfortably against the third button of the Greek's waistcoat. "That's not the first time you've been asked to put up your hands, I think," said T. X. pleasantly. His own left hand slipped round to Kara's hip pocket. He found something in the shape of a cylinder and drew it out from the pocket.
He smiled, as he worked after his Chief had gone, at the recollection of Kara's profound astonishment and the gratification he strove so desperately to disguise. Kara was a vain man, immensely conscious of his good looks, conscious of his wealth.
It certainly is pleasanter at our camp in Beechwood Forest than in this place!" Tory's arms went around Kara's shoulders, her bright red lips touched the other girl's brown hair. "You know I have wanted to come to you every minute in the twenty-four hours, dear, and every member of your Patrol has wanted to come as well, besides Miss Mason and Miss Frean and all the rest.
Tory is wearing a green dress to-night as upon the occasion of our first visit to this drawing-room to ask her to become a Girl Scout. Dear me, what is that commotion?" The two girls ran over toward the window. Lance had the thoughtfulness to wheel Kara's chair so that she might equally gratify her curiosity.
Mr. Kara was in his room he explained resentfully, as though T. X. should have been aware of the fact without being told. He had heard no bell ringing and indeed had not been summoned to the room. "I have to see him at eleven o'clock," he said, "and I have had standing instructions not to go to him unless I am sent for." T. X. led the way upstairs, and went straight to Kara's room.
"Well there is one person whom we all agree to be the ideal choice," Dorothy McClain remarked, hoping to turn the conversation into more agreeable channels. She had been sitting on the ground weaving a chaplet of beech leaves. Rising up now she placed it like a crown on Kara's brow. "Behold Athena, the wise Goddess with the clear gray eyes!" A little silence descended upon the group of girls.
Richard Fenton. Their own house was empty save for his presence. Miss Victoria had gone for a month's holiday to the sea. After a talk with her uncle and an hour's shopping, she was now on her way to call upon Kara. She saw a mental picture of Kara's small room on the top floor of the Gray House. How proud Kara had been because she need share her room with no one!
In that case was a new steel key. She passed swiftly down the corridor to Kara's room and made straight for the safe. In two seconds it was open and she was examining its contents. It was a large safe of the usual type. There were four steel drawers fitted at the back and at the bottom of the strong box.
Two of these were unlocked and contained nothing more interesting than accounts relating to Kara's estate in Albania. The top pair were locked. She was prepared for this contingency and a second key was as efficacious as the first. An examination of the first drawer did not produce all that she had expected. She returned the papers to the drawer, pushed it to and locked it.
