"
"Will you listen to the man!" chuckled Jane.
Harriet nodded with satisfaction.
"Janus Grubb? Why, sir, I don't understand. We have already met Mr.
Grubb," cried Miss Elting.
"Somebody is crazy," muttered Jane, "I think the man with the green
goggles is the lunatic."
"Show me the man who said he was myself," roared the newcomer.
Miss Elting turned to point out the man who had been piloting them
along the platform. She uttered a little exclamation. The man with
the goggles was nowhere in sight. "Why, where did Mr. Grubb go?" she
exclaimed.
"I'm Janus Grubb and I'd like to see the man who says I'm not," shouted
the guide indignantly, forgetting that he was addressing a woman.
"Please come to the station agent with me. If he identifies you, I am
satisfied," declared Miss Elting with dignity, looking disapprovingly
at the excited man. She moved back toward the station, followed by her
charges, and a moment later the railroad agent had identified Janus to
her entire satisfaction.
The girls giggled. There was something funny about their having been
deceived so easily, but Miss Elting did not regard matters in that
light.
