“I think I see somebody coming!” said Andy, later on. He had climbed to the top of the tree to make observations.
“Let us yell for help,” suggested Pepper, and all three immediately set up as loud a shout as their lungs would permit. At first there was no reply, but then a faint hello came back, and Andy saw the man running towards them.
“If he owns the dogs he’ll aid us,” said the acrobatic youth.
“Yes, but if he doesn’t what is he to do?” asked Jack, quickly. “We ought to warn him.”
Again they set up a shout:
“Look out for the dogs!”
“What’s that?” asked the man, coming to a halt.
“Look out for the dogs.”
“Three bulldogs?”
“Yes.”
