Rides and drives and picnics were planned and carried out, and long delightful afternoons were spent over books and fancy-work on the Harrington veranda. Pollyanna was delighted. Not only were her paying guests being kept from any possibilities of ennui and homesickness, but her good friends, the Carews, were becoming delightfully acquainted with her other good friends, the Pendletons.
Not a word about the dance except a general affirmative to Mrs. Pendleton's question if he had enjoyed himself. The Pendletons had not stayed to look on for long, and Jinny had apparently not worn her bleeding heart upon her sleeve. But this immunity could not last. He could not hug the protecting Pendletons to him forever. Nor did he want to. They waned upon him. Mrs.
My own theory is that he went to sleep in a parlour car and was sent to the yards, and hasn't waked up." "And isn't Mrs. Grainger worried?" asked Honora. "Oh, you never can tell anything about her," he said. "Do you know her? She's a sphinx. All the Pendletons are Stoics. And besides, she's been so busy with this Charities Conference that she hasn't had time to think of Cecil. Who's that?"

He found her at tea upon the veranda with her aunt and uncle and while he made conversation with the Pendletons he gave Miss Jeffries the note. "From our friend Ryder," he said with forced lightness. "It explains itself." But it certainly did not.
I hurried out to the car and jumped in. "Mary, we've got to work fast." "Is Helen suspected?" she asked. "Yes. The Sun is more than hinting." The news seemed to bring out the fight in Mary. "Well, we'll prove her innocent." When we reached the Pendletons' we hurried into the house and went at once to the room where Jim and Helen had their argument. The revolver was not there.
I just saw the Allan Pendletons." "Have you seen Phil?" Eleanor asked. "Oh, yes, he's in there, and even he's helpless. And as I came out poor Mr. Bradley was jammed up against the wall. He seemed perfectly stunned . . . ." At this moment they were thrust apart. Eleanor quivered as she was carried through the swinging doors into the church.
