CHAPTER I

A PROBLEM


"Where are the children?"

"They can't be far away," replied my wife, looking up from her
preparations for supper. "Bobsey was here a moment ago. As soon as
my back's turned he's out and away. I haven't seen Merton since he
brought his books from school, and I suppose Winnie is upstairs with
the Daggetts."

"I wish, my dear, you could keep the children at home more," I said,
a little petulantly.

"I wish you would go and find them for me now, and to-morrow take my
place--for just one day."
