The High School Boys' Training Hike by H. Irving (Harrie Irving) Hancock
page 34 of 233 (14%)
"We ought to do a few miles this afternoon, but not set out to
do any record-breaking or back-breaking stunt."

"There goes hazy's dream up in the air," laughed Greg. "I just
knew that Hazy was planning how to spend the afternoon napping."

"I'll volunteer to drive all the way, this afternoon," Harry offered.
"That will give all of you fellows a chance to harden yourselves
more on the first day."

"If you want to know a good definition of 'generosity,' then ask
Hazy," snorted Dalzell.

"Come on!" cried Dick good-humoredly. "Scatter. Some for wood,
some for water. Tom and I will get the kitchen kit ready for
a meal. But we must have the wood and water before we can prepare
luncheon."

At that suggestion of something to eat there was a general rush
to get things in readiness. As soon as a fire was going in the
stove in the wagon, Dick put on a frying pan. Into this he dropped
several slices of bacon. Tom, over a fire built on the ground,
set the coffee-pot going. In a pot on the stove Dick put potatoes
to cook.

Now Dave rattled out the dishes, as soon as Greg and Hazy had
set up the folding table. Dan placed the chairs.

"Get ready!" called Dick, as soon as he had fried two platters
full of bacon and eggs. Tom, will you try the potatoes?"
