After all, fellows, it's good to be back home again.
The speaker, Rob Blake, leader of the Eagle Patrol of Boy Scouts, spoke with conviction. He was a rangy, sun-burned lad of about eighteen, clear-eyed, confident and wiry. His Boy Scout training, too, had made him resourceful beyond his years.
Yes, and it's also good to know that we each have a good substantial sum of money in the bank as the result of the finding of the Dangerfield fortune, agreed Merritt Crawford, his second in command, a sunny-faced, good-natured looking youth a little younger than Rob and crowned with a tousled mass of wavy brown hair.
Well, at any rate we've had plenty to eat since we've been back, chimed in Tubby Hopkins, a corpulent youth who owed his nickname to his fleshiness.
That's right, Tubby, laughed Paul Perkins, another bright-eyed young Eagle ; that's something we didn't always get in the Adirondacks. I thought at one time that you'd fade away to a shadow.
