"It's queer he would want to come--after the odd way he's behaved to us." "Yes, it is rather strange," Janet tried to speak lightly.

"But there it is! The whole world has turned topsy-turvy since any of us saw him last." "I wonder if he's still very rich," went on Jack.
Janet Tosswill felt startled.

"Why shouldn't he be ?" she asked.
"Oh, I don't know--it only occurred to me that he might have lost some of this money in the same way that he lost that first fortune of his." "It wasn't a fortune"-- Betty's quiet voice broke in very decidedly--"and most of it was lost by a friend of his, not by Godfrey himself at all.

He was too proud to say anything about it to father, but he wrote and told George." A curious stillness fell over the company of young people.

They were all in their different ways very much surprised, for Betty never mentioned her twin-brother.
