"Lucky dogs!" came from another cadet. As he spoke he looked at Reff Ritter, but that individual merely scowled, and took surreptitious whiffs at a cigarette he was smoking.
"How are they going to Point View?" asked another who was present.
"Going on their bicycles," answered Mumps. "It's quite a ride, isn't it?"
"Oh, not for them. They can make it in half an hour if they try. But they'll find it pretty dark to-night, I'm thinking," added the cadet, with a glance out of the boathouse window at the leaden sky.
The talk continued and Ritter listened closely to every word. Then he arose and motioned to Coulter, and the two walked outside.
"Did you hear what Mumps said?" he asked of his crony.
"About those chaps going to the Fords' home?"
"Yes."
"What of it?"
"I was thinking we might spoil their fun."
