What had caused the change in her manner toward us? She had been
perfectly cordial at the supper table and asked how we liked the beds.
Something had evidently occurred while we sat upstairs, but what it was
we could not guess. Then, like a flash, I remembered having seen the
Frog sauntering past the house while we were eating supper. Had he gone
to Mrs. Moffat with some story about us which had caused her to put us
out? It sounded like a moving picture plot, and yet we all realized the
possibility of it. We were simply dazed with the events of the day and
evening by the time we reached the new rooms and had put Margery to
bed.

"What a record we are setting this week!" said Sahwah. "First night we
wandered into a Congressman's house by mistake and were put out; second
night we got burned out of a hotel and finished by getting lost in the
fog; third night we are put out of a lodging house for some mysterious
reason. There aren't enough more things that can happen to us to last
the week out." Which showed all that Sahwah knew about it.

When we had simmered down to something near normal again we realized
that we would need the trunk which was carried on the Glow-worm. Nyoda
drove the Glow-worm over and we carried the trunk up-stairs while she
ran the car back to the garage. It was heavier than we expected and we
were pretty well winded when we set it down on the floor of our room.

"Won't I be glad to see my dressing-gown again," said Sahwah, sucking
her thumb, which had gotten under the trunk when it was set down. "This
dress shrank when it got drenched in the fog last night and the
collar's too tight."
