“If anyone comes near the cabin tonight, we ought to see his footprints in the morning,” Mac said.
“Maybe not,” Kent denied. “If it keeps on snowing this way, any tracks would be covered up in a very short time.”

“That would break my heart!” Mac grinned.
“Don’t you want to know anything, you ignorant duffer?” Kent asked.
“I thought I knew about all there was to know,” Mac returned blandly.

“I accept!” grinned the twin.
