If any of you fellows really want to know, then, what the man on the clubhouse steps said, I'll tell you." "You won't postpone telling us, and you won't try to crawl out of it ?" pressed Dave Darrin.

"On your honor, you won't tell us what the man on the clubhouse steps said ?" demanded Tom Reade suspiciously.
"On my honor, I won't try to dodge out of it, or postpone it a minute beyond five o'clock.

On my honor I'll tell you, at five o'clock, to-day, what the man on the clubhouse steps said." "Good!" cried many voices.
"Will many of you be there ?" Dick inquired.
"We'll all be there," declared Spoff Henderson.

"Until five o'clock, then." Dick started along.
