five o'clock
The Girl Scouts had been warned . Kara 's farewell to her Patrol must be as casual and matter-of-fact as possible . There must be no heroics at parting ; she would leave in the early morning and must reserve all her strength . At shortly after five o'clock the girls and the Troop Captain had departed and Kara was again lying down alone until the evening meal . Afterwards Dr. McClain and Dorothy were to come in for a few moments . Kara and Tory , Miss Victoria and Mr. Richard Fenton were in the drawing-room when they entered . Unexpectedly Lance accompanied them .
