Tubby came around the end of the

was not smiling. He was almost frow

beside the steps, only a few feet in

the letters from his inner coat pocket
she could ensily see them. Idly as he

Written in a bold dashing masculine

Sally stopped dead. She looked up
at Madeline in horror, “From. Pilar,”
she repeated.

Sally and: Madeline looked at each
other. Then they both coughed, “Just

but Sally at the same moment said,
“She's. a horrible, asty .scheming
vumpire, that's what she is, and I
hate her.” .
“I wouldu’t like her,” Deborah said
positively, and put her ehin up.
