"Fellows, the real thing for us to do, on this trip, is to learn how to move fast and light.

We must learn how to do without many things and yet have just as good a time." "I think that's good sense," murmured Dave.

"At the same time, I'll admit, at first blush, that I don't care particularly for the motion of the push cart.

That means a lot of extra work for us, if we change camping sites often." "Then let's put it to a vote whether to hire a horse and wagon, and give up the idea of an August trip," proposed Dick.
"No need whatever of taking any vote," broke in Tom.

"All of us want that August trip, too, and we know that we haven't purses as big as a bank's vault." And that opinion prevailed, without dissent.
"Greg's house ought to be the best place to keep the push cart over night," Dick continued.
