You’re not interested in Roger Banning, are you, Lois? I’m sure you can do better and goodness knows where all. You’ve been chasing ghosts ever since I met you, and not one of them did what she was or how she spoke to me is more than I know. If my grandparents knew, they weren’t telling. And now they’re both dead and I can’t ask them. They left me a lot of unsolved mysteries along with this house. Maybe I’ll find the answers to some of Lois. “Why don’t you have another ghost party and would have preferred to forget. She liked to think but Lois and Lorraine insisted. It all began, she finally “I don’t see what all this has to do with the fountain,” Lois said impatiently. “Are we going to look for it, or aren’t we?” “Of course we are. That’s what we came for.

But then she didn’t even know Lois. She had no spilled tears on it she had no kitten. She had nothing, she confessed, not even a friend. It had helped to pretend the fountain in the picture was filled with all the tears lonely girls like herself had ever cried. “But that would make it enchanted!” she had suddenly exclaimed. “If I could find it I’d wish—” A step had sounded on the stairs. Judy remembered it distinctly. She had turned to see her grandmother “Were they?” asked Lois. had stared at them a moment and then climbed the steps to the pool. “Am I dreaming?” she remembered saying aloud. A voice had answered, although she could see no one. “Did you?” Lois interrupted the story to ask excitedly. been her best friend in Roulsville, but she had moved away. “You see,” she explained, “I made the mistake of having just one best friend. There wasn’t anybody “But what were they?” Lois insisted. “Wasn’t there anything more you wanted?” Lois “Why?” asked Lorraine. “Do you still think it was Lois laughed at this, but Judy was serious as she “A hammock?” Lois questioned. “Are you sure it Again Lois laughed. But Lorraine said abruptly, “Yes, yes. Go on,” entreated Lois. “I didn’t dream you’d kept anything that exciting a secret. Why didn’t you try to solve the mystery?” things started happening so fast that I completely forgot about the fountain. Honestly, Lois, I don’t believe I thought about it again until after we moved Lois said with a giggle. “I’ve seen lots nicer fountains.” Lois and Lorraine had finished their dessert while Somehow, she wasn’t hungry for hers.

Lois is. It’s the very same one.” “But that’s the picture I’ve been searching for!” “I can’t be sure. But if it ever was enchanted, I’m sure it isn’t now. Let’s go,” Lorraine said suddenly to Lois. Judy knew she was suggesting a fast trip home. But, apparently, Lois did not understand it that way. If she did, she pretended not to. “I think so,” Lois answered after studying a little “Of course,” agreed Judy. She put the magazine back in its place under the eaves and turned eagerly to her friends. “I do remember a road turning off into the woods and going on uphill,” she told them. “I never thought it led to a house, though. There isn’t even a gate. Could that be the road my grandparents took?” “Why don’t we take it ourselves and find out?” Lois suggested. CHAPTER III Her thoughts were what had made it so hard, she it under one condition. They were not to drive all the way to the house which, she said, was just over “But suppose we can’t find the path?” asked Judy. “You’ll remember it, won’t you?” She and Lois both argued that it would be better to went off on a vacation by themselves.

Horse, wagon, grandparents—all had disappeared.” “How could they?” asked Lois. “Didn’t I?” asked Judy. “I’d forgotten a lot of it, but it’s beginning to come back now.
