“Well, there aren’t many things that are so good that they can’t be improved,” remarked 211 Herb. “I suppose even if I set out to make a perfect set, I might fall a little short of the mark somewhere.”
“That seems almost impossible, but of course you ought to know,” replied Jimmy, with a grin,
“I only wish we had our set finished that we’re working on now,” said Herb. “Then we ought to get real results.”
“It won’t take us so very long now,” returned Jimmy. “Most of the hard work is done, and all we have to do now is to assemble it, I guess we can get busy at that pretty soon now.”
“The sooner the better,” answered Herb. “It seems to me that we’ve been at it an awfully long while.”
“Not so long when you consider all the work that there is to a set like that,” said Jimmy. “But here we are, and I’m beginning to feel hungry again, although it isn’t very long since I had supper. I think I’ll hunt around in the kitchen and see if I can’t find a few doughnuts. I’m pretty sure that there are some left in the crock.”
“I don’t see how there can be, if you knew they were there,” laughed Herb. “But I hope you do find some. Your mother’s doughnuts have a reputation, you know.”
“We’ll go up to my room first, and then I’ll have a look,” said Jimmy.
Herb had hardly gotten his coat off before 212 Jimmy returned with several golden brown doughnuts.
“Here we are,” he said, triumphantly. “Now to enjoy the radio!”
