“I wanted a chance to look around New York,” answered Sam Winthrop. “I’ve never had a chance before, you know.”
“You shall look around, all you please, and Frank and I will go with you.”
“Is Darry here yet?”
“No, but Frank expects him to-morrow. Then we can all go around until Professor Strong arrives. But say, what do you think about Glummy going?” and Mark looked anxious.
“Can’t say that I am overjoyed, Mark.”
“I wish it was anybody but Hockley—and Frank wishes the same.”
“Well, all arrangements have been made, so we’ll have to make the best of it. But I heard one thing that doesn’t please me,” went on Sam. “I got a letter from Dick Mason, and in it he said Glummy was talking of the trip to some of his chums, and said he was going just to show Frank and you a thing or two.”
“Did he? I wonder what he meant?”
“He didn’t mean anything very good, you can be sure of that, Mark.”
“You are right. We’ll certainly have to keep our eyes open and watch him,” concluded Mark, seriously.
