“What’s your rush?” I asked, when I had overtaken him.	[Frontispiece]
Uncle Issachar	[10]
Dr. Felix Polydore	[23]
“Lucien Wade!” she gasped. “Here are our letters to Beth and Rob.”	[81]
He pleaded eloquently to be taken with us.	[103]
I babbled aimlessly to myself and then managed to pull together and beat it to the lake	[127]
The landlady intears waylaid me	[133]
I had to carry Diogenes most of the way	[169]
Now and then above his howls, I heard Silvia’s plaintive protests outside the door	[193]
I held out my hand, which he shook solemnly, but with an injured air	[225]
“He went to the front window and dropped a young kitten down on the old gent’s head.”	[243]
“We heard a suppressed sneeze, and Rob pulled Emerald from underneath.”	[257]
