CHAPTER XXIII
DEEP IN THE WOODS

Of course the other boys were greatly interested in the news that Gif and Jack had to impart when they returned to the bungalow. They found the other lads cleaning up not only the living room and the bedrooms, but likewise the kitchen.

“I’ll bet they get sick of him pretty quick,” came from Spouter. “They won’t like his laziness any more than we did.”

“On a tour!” cried Andy. “What do you know about that? Some style, I’ll say! I suppose they’ll want to put up at the best hotel in Beldane.”
