The boys looked at each other suspiciously, wondering if there was one of the number who would carry to the sophs.
To Frank's surprise he saw that Walter Gordon was there. Jack Diamond was also present.
Frank found an opportunity to get close to Dismal and whisper in his ear:
"Great Caesar, old man! why did you invite Gordon here?"
"I did not."
"Then how does he happen to be here? He didn't come without an invitation, I am sure of that."
"He was in Billy's when I asked Put to come up. I knew you would like to have Put here."
"That's all right."
"Well, Put asked Gordon to come along before I could prevent it. Of course I didn't have the crust to make any objection after that."
"I should say not! It's all right, but you want to remember that the sophs found out something was going on. Did Gordon come right along with you?"
