If
this thing is true about Professor Dempsey's sons I think I shall be
able to sympathize with him, almost better than any of you."
"I guess you will, honey," said Mollie soberly, putting an arm about
her chum. "It was a terrible time for us all-- there at Bluff Point.
But it was almost worth the suffering when we found out that Allen was
alive and well and never had been missing at all. Do you remember how
happy we all were then?"
"Happy," Betty repeated, shaking off her depression and smiling at the
memory. "I'll say we were the happiest girls on earth-- especially
after we recovered the twins. But what," she said, coming back to the
present subject, "are we going to do about Professor Dempsey? We ought
to do something, you know."
"I suppose we ought," said Grace, a little vaguely, "but I'm sure I
don't know just what."
"I think," suggested Amy practically, "that the best thing would be to
try to find out first of all whether these poor boys who were killed
are really Professor Dempsey's sons or not."
"Humph, that sounds all right," observed Mollie.
