Explore "The Phantom Car" by Fred M. White on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The sunny days went on and May had given way to a glorious June without a single word or trace of the missing airman. He was given up for good now, and never likely to be heard of again. In a way, this state of things might be said to favour Roy Manthon; but, to do him justice, he was not thinking of himself at all. He was thinking of nothing but Peggy's happiness and her future. And, as the days went on, and certain ominous signs forced themselves on his notice, he became more and more anxious as to the outcome of Peggy's rather mysterious friendship with Sebastian Wilde.
Outwardly, at least, there seemed to be no harm in it, but Manthon was convinced that there was something going on behind the scenes, which he would have to fathom, if Peggy was ever to be brought back to peace and happiness again.
