"Stand on your feet," advised Jay. "I vote--" "No, Myron," corrected The Chief, "move--not vote." "I move, then, that we fix up those grounds." "Who seconds this?" and Jay looked hard at George. "I will," he responded. "I'm not sure, now," appealed Jay to The Chief, "I'm not sure just how to go on." "It's this way--it has been moved and seconded that this request be granted. All in favour say 'aye'; all contrary minded 'no'. It is a vote." Jay repeated this and the boys voted, Albert, as usual, voting "no," just for fun. |
