Chapter XV
THE ROOM OF EVIL MEMORIES
Anderson brought the table and the cards. It was difficult at first, but finally they grew interested in the game. Before they realised he had had time to complete his errand, Tony was back. He explained briefly that he had hired a good boat, and described its location at the river end of the island.
They resumed their game. It held them until the sun had set, until the dejection that came with the twilight drove their minds from the cards.
“I must think of dinner,” Molly sighed, listlessly scoring a hand.
“Tell Tony what to do and look upon it as done,” Miller suggested. “0r better yet, why not all of us pitch in and get dinner! It will be good fun. Tony can clean up afterwards while we finish this rubber.”
Molly and Anderson agreed uninterest
