Chapter XII
“Too Much Polydores”
The next morning at breakfast, Beth announced that she and Rob were going to spend the day camping in the woods.
Silvia and I tried not to look significantly at each other, but Beth was very keen.
“We will take Diogenes with us,” she instantly added.
“Oh, no!” protested Silvia. “He’ll be such a bother. And then he can’t walk very far, you know.”
“He’ll be no bother,” persisted Beth. 166 “And we’ll borrow the little cart to draw him in.”
“Yes,” acquiesced Rob. “We sure want Diogenes with us.”
