I’ve got a little over a hundred in the bank, I’ve been saving up. A lucky thing I hadn’t spent it yet. I’ll scout around and see what else I can find. Maybe Dad left some in the safe. He taught me the combination. I’ll see. Of course, if there isn’t any there we’ll have to sell something, but not tonight. The thing is to get away. How much have you got? Any?”

“Not much. Ten or twelve. Got some new golf clubs the other day. This was left and Dad said keep it. Maybe I could get them to take the clubs back. I haven’t used them yet.”

“Well, you could try. But you’ll have to see about the car. We’ll have to have one of the big ones, and not the new one, either. I should think that would be the one the relatives would try to trace. They wouldn’t know about the big sedan, the one the servants use, would they?”

“No, but the servants would. That chauffeur knows everything about the cars, of course. You can’t put anything over on him.”

“We’ll have to find some way to get rid of all the servants,” said Jennifer, with a puzzled frown. “I guess that’s my job. I hadn’t realized it before.”

“Well, say, that reminds me,” said the boy. “I just met the chauffeur down by the side door. He got back from wherever it was he went, and he asked me did I know what we were going to do, were we intending to stay here at the place? I told him we hadn’t a chance to make plans yet, and he said did I know where you were, he wanted to see you; so I told him I’d send you down there as soon as I could.”

“Yes?” said Jennifer thoughtfully. “Well, I guess I’d better go right down and see if there isn’t some way I can get rid of him without making him suspicious.”

“He’s a good sport,” said Jeremy thoughtfully.

“Yes, I know he is, but we can’t stop on that now. Besides, the aunts are hot on the warpath and they won’t let him stay here. And we don’t need him now, anyway. You and I can both drive. And we’ve got to run away. I’ll go right down and talk to him a minute and you stay here and see that the children keep quiet, and try to think out how we can get away from town without our license plates being read.
