"I am so pleased to meet you, for I know all about you. `Gervase Farrington Vanburgh'," she checked off each word on uplifted fingers, and nodded her head with an air of triumph at the completeness of her information. "`The Boundaries, Lipton, Devonshire. I have posted ever so many notes to you, and once I addressed an envelope.
Regarding Miss Brent, I have received ample assurance of her honesty of purpose from Miss Lipton, the head of the Lipton Preparatory School for Girls. Miss Lipton and I are in possession of certain facts concerning Miss Brent which enable us to understand her peculiar position here. I regret, beyond all words, that Miss Brent did not confide in me before having the sale of her clothing.
"I suspected it," was Emma's cheerful rejoinder. "One of the 'There was the Door to which I found no Key' variety, so to speak." "I'm going to tell you all about it," decided Grace, "for I need your advice." She related her interview with Jean Brent. "Miss Lipton, the head of the Lipton Preparatory School, at Grafton, writes beautifully of Miss Brent," went on Grace.
To all magisthrates an' polis officers, greetin. In re Sir Lipton again th' Cup. Be means iv this infernal machine, if enable to kill off th' rile fam'ly, he will attimpt to cross th' stormy Atlantic, an' if successful, will arrive at th' risidince iv th' party of th' first part, said John Doe.
I fly my own plane. But it isn't a jet, sir!" "What is it?" Lipton asked. Rick named it. "Ever fly a jet?" Rick had, and for the moment he was sorry. Thanks to his friends at JANIG, he had been given an opportunity to try out a Navy jet trainer after the case of The Wailing Octopus in the Virgin Islands.
Steve Ames had made special arrangements at the Naval Air Station when Rick wistfully said he would like to fly a jet just once. Lipton studied him. "Hmmm. This jet is hotter than those trainers by a factor of three, except in landing. Since landing is the critical factor, I'll buy it. First, though, we'll take a little ride." Rick was filled with mixed excitement and apprehension.
"If you attempt the conquest, I'll warn you there will be scaling ladders and all the ancient paraphernalia of siege needed," said Doctor Gordon laughingly. James colored. "It may be that I am a woman-hater," he replied, and looked very young. Doctor Gordon again laughed. A little later they went to Georgie K.'s. They went nearly every evening while Annie Lipton was with Clemency.
"I'll be glad to try, sir," he said, with more confidence than he felt. The test pilot rode to the lake bed with Rick in the jeep. On the way he inspected the boy critically. "You're pretty young," he said at last. "Yes, sir," Rick said, thinking that Lipton wasn't very old himself, especially for his rank. "Remember the first rule of flying?" "Yes, sir. Keep your nerve and your flying speed."
Annie Lipton was a prettier girl than Clemency, though without her personal charm. Her beauty seemed to abash her, and make her indignant. She was a girl who should have been a nun, and viewed love and lovers from behind iron bars. She treated James with exceeding coolness.
I'm no doctor, all I can do is try to bring him down in one piece, and that's tough enough for me. Decide, and I'll try to follow your plan." The doctor went into a consultation with John Gordon, Dr. Bond, and Gee-Gee Gould. "I see what Lipton means about bringing him down as slowly and smoothly as possible," the doctor said.
