Chapter XIII
A BOLD PLOT. "June, can you tell me where Irene has gone?" said Scott the next evening, as he entered the family sitting-room. "No," June replied, "she told me she was obliged to go and see a friend, and would not be home until quite late." "Was she dressed as though going to a party?" "Oh, no; she wore a very dark suit and the plainest hat she has."
