It will be enough to draw a lot of young people here, and this hotel thrives by the number of guests that it entertains.
So will you do me the favor of asking your Mr.Howgate to telegraph his answer---collect---addressing it here ?" That began to look like something that Prescott could understand.
He called Dave over to him and told his chum what was being discussed.
"Fine!" glowed Darrin.

"Thank you, Mr.Wright." So Dick made the suggested addition to the letter.

After he addressed an envelope and had sealed it the manager took the letter away to mail.

Then he returned to say, with a tactfulness that won the hearts of the eight Gridley High School girls: "Mr.Prescott, you and your friends will oblige me if you will make this hotel your headquarters when you are on this side of the lake.

We shall always be delighted to see you here." Thanking the manager for his courtesy, Dick and Dave accompanied Laura to the porch; where they were introduced to some of the other guests.
