CHAPTER v
THE man found words first. Il

you DON'T mean l didn't mean
that isl guess I've made a
nistake."
Janet was clutching the pink
5athrobe, holding it about her. 1t
vas surprise and not fear that
acid her speechless.
"Who are you?" she demanded.
And what are you doing in my
:oom?"
al guess I've made q mistake"
the young man repeated. His face
had grown quite red. "You see |
didn't know
But what are you doing
here?"
1t was certainly not like Janet
to use tone like that. 1t wasn't
like her at all. The words snapped

"But it's my ROOM"

ali right TO take the light and eX-
plain about it tomorrow. Ili-Fll
20 now. 1t doesn't matter about
he light"
Il was ridiculous to suppose
this young man could be a bur.
glar. He seemed more disturbed
over the situation than Janet.
More than anything he looked
ike young man who has made
IN extremely embarrassing mis-
lake and is willing to do almost
anything to remedy it. Besides
Ianet remembered Mollie had
spoken OF new roomer. Grant
Vas that the name? Yes, it was.
She would probably have
smiled and said she understood,
hat it was perfectly all right but
mddenly Janet remembered what
The was wearing. The bathrobe
ind pajamas! Dignity fed and.
striving to recapture it, the sharp
lote came into her voice again.
You'd better leave" she said
shortly. And after this please
remember this room is not va
