“Well, I like his nerve!” said Jerry, after he had read the letter over a second time. “As if we made him take that money. Look here!” he called to Ned and Bob, showing them the letter.
They were much surprised at the veiled threats contained in the missive.
“I wonder what he thinks he can do to us?” asked Ned.
“How does he come to be in New York?” asked Bob.
“He probably went there in his father’s—I mean in his own—automobile,” said Jerry. “That isn’t much of a trip for a big car.”
“Well, I guess we will not let the letter worry us,” went on Bob.
“I wonder if when we happen to be touring the west we will meet with Noddy?” said Ned, presently.
“And I wonder if he’d really try to do anything to us,” put in Bob.
“Don’t talk about it,” said Jerry. “We are comfortable now, don’t worry about the future.”
