Chapter VII
TWO NEW MYSTERIES There was some secret between Jan and Old P'lina, Jannet could see, but it was scarcely polite to intercept their glances. Jannet told herself that she must mind her own affairs strictly. Yet it was hard to do it in this environment. Jannet felt that Jan was joking considerably when he talked of the ghosts of the old house, but Paulina wasn't she was sure. For some strange reason, nevertheless, Jannet grew more and more fond of her pretty, quaint room.
