The Wolves of Willoughby Chase

The next morning, the girls meet Miss Slighcarp briefly. They run to Mr. Grimshaw’s room to see how he is feeling. They overhear the doctor speaking to the housekeeper, explaining that the blow to the head seems to have caused a hopefully temporary amnesia. The girls suggest that Sylvia might help trigger his memory, but when they enter his room he’s burning papers and reacts aggressively toward the girls. 

The girls go to see Bonnie’s parents, who are preparing for their trip abroad. Sir Willoughby tells the doctor that Grimshaw can stay until he’s recovered from his injuries. Bonnie’s parents welcome Sylvia warmly, then leave for their sea voyage. Bonnie is sad to see her parents leave, but tries to keep her spirits up. She takes Sylvia out to ice skate. Sylvia takes to ice skating quickly.

Bonnie and Sylvia spot Miss Slighcarp walking close to the edge of the property. Concerned that Miss Slighcarp doesn’t realize the danger of the wolves, the girls hurry to try to warn her. They lose sight of her and spot another woman they don’t recognize, then hear the sound of a carriage soon after. They see Miss Slighcarp heading back toward the house and they wonder who the other woman was.
