Yes, she's at home, Bess. Will you--do you mind coming with
me?"
"Of course not, my dear. I wouldn't think of letting you go alone to
tell her. Is the telegram from jack himself?"
No, it's from Walter Pennington. Walter says a letter
follows--special delivery."
"Oh, then you'll get it soon! Perhaps it isn't so bad as you think.
Dear Walter is so good!"
"Isn't he?" agreed Cora, murmuringly. "I sha'n't worry so much about
Jack, now that I know Wally is with him. Oh, but if he has to leave
college--"
Cora did not finish. Together she and Bess left the library, seeking
Mrs. Kimball, to impart to her the sudden and unwelcome news. And
so, when there is a moment or two, during which nothing of
chronicling interest is taking place, my dear readers may be glad of
a little explanation regarding Cora Kimball and her chums, and also a
word or two concerning the previous books of this series.
Cora Kimball was the real leader of the motor girls. She was, by
nature, destined for such a position, and the fact that she, of all
her chums, was the first to possess an automobile, added to her
prestige. In the first volume of this series, entitled "The Motor
Girls," I had the pleasure of telling how, amid many other
adventures, Cora, and her chums, Bess and Belle Robinson, helped to
solve the mystery of a twenty thousand dollar loss.
Cora, Bess and Belle were real girl chums, but they never knew all,
the delights of chumship until they "went in" for motoring.
