"Just the same, I have a sneaking desire to find out some more from
Planchette," Lute confessed. "The board is still down in the dining room. We
could try it now, you and I, and no one would know."
Chris caught her hand, crying: "Come on! It will be a lark."
Hand in hand they ran down the path to the tree-pillared room.
"The camp is deserted," Lute said, as she placed Planchette on the table.
