We've had an awful time, too." "How so ?" questioned Billy politely.
"I fell in the water and Buthter made cuthtard and had no oven to bake it in, and then--" "Who is talking now ?" demanded Margery.
Tommy subsided at once.
"The question is, are you going to run away from us again ?" demanded George.
"We never have.

Remember, we followed you over here," suggested Jane.
"We shall be near here for some time in all probability.

We have plenty of time.

After we get tired of this spot we probably shall move to some other anchorage, but we'll be here for a few days yet." "Keep your eyes open, or you will miss us again and your last chance will be gone," warned Harriet.
"We shall keep our eyes open," answered George with an emphatic nod.
The luncheon having been finished, Billy suggested that they spend the afternoon in exploring the island.

This suited Harriet.
