Dick.
"Maybe not," quoth Tom, "but everyone of us will be sorely tempted. You ought to see that pudding that Jim Hornby is putting up." "Young man, are you going to get that heart to cooking before it goes bad in the sun?" asked Mr. Ross sharply. Tom meekly turned and started toward camp. "What's Greg doing?" Dick called after him. "Holmesy is watching, learning the way Jim Hornby puts up a boiled pudding," Reade called back. Honk! honk! sounded an automobile horn from the rough trail of a roadway an eighth of a mile away. The honking continued until Dick, realizing that it was a signal, gave a loud halloo. "Is that Prescott's camp?" called a voice. "It's the camp of Prescott and his friends," Dick shouted back. "Get ready for visitors, then!" called the voice again, and this time Dick recognized the voice as that of Dr. Bentley. "We won't eat you out of supplies, though," called the doctor, now heading through the forest. "We're bringing with us our own cold lunch." |
