"Well, what is it?" demanded Margery.

"The job ith not finithhed yet. Mith Elting hathn't painted the name on
the other thide."

"That is true, but to do so I should have to stand in the water,"
laughed the guardian.

"If you must paint the other side, of course we can turn the boat
around," said Harriet. "I think a name on one side will answer our
purpose for the present. Later on we can finish the job, if we think
best."

"Yes," agreed Jane. "We've done enough for the present. Don't forget
that we've got to settle the house in the morning. I want you all to
think hard to-night, to see if we have forgotten anything."

"The only thing we have forgotten is our dinner. We haven't had a bite
to eat since morning," Margery Brown reminded her friends.

"Margery can't think of anything but thomething to eat," laughed Tommy.
"You mutht learn to eat atmothphere when you're hungry. That ith the way
I do."

"I fear you will never grow fat on that sort of diet," laughed the
guardian.

"I don't want to get fat, like Buthter," replied Tommy scornfully.
