And when he said that, Skinny kind of smiled and then you could see how thin he was, because the wrinkles came all around his mouth.
Well, on Saturday Westy and Dorry Benton and Ralph Warner (they're all in my patrol) went into the city to get Skinny's outfit, so we could give him a surprise at the meeting on Monday night.

I didn't go because I wanted Westy to have the say, and I didn't want him to think I was butting in, because Skinny belonged to him, as you might say.

Besides I had to cut the grass to my sisters could play tennis with Johnny Wade--honest, that fellow is there all the time.

He's got a machine, but I never saw it.

I guess maybe it's a sewing machine, hey?
Now I didn't know how much money Mr.Bennett gave Mr.Ellsworth.All I know is that when the fellows came back they had everything for Skinny, or most everything.
