CHAPTER XI
CELEBRATING THE VICTORY
A little later found the Rover boys, accompanied by half a dozen of their friends, bound for Colby Hall. It was rather late, and they hurried along with all possible speed.
“No parade before supper, for which I am thankful,” remarked Jack.
“And supper is to be half an hour late,” added Randy.
“And best of all, no studying to-night,” broke in Andy. “Oh, my! but won’t we have some fun!”
“We’ve got to catch Codfish, Andy. Don’t forget that,” put in Randy.
“Forget it!” answered the fun-loving Rover. “Why, you couldn’t make me forget it for a million dollars. That boy is going to have a lesson he’ll remember as long as he lives. Every time I think how he exploded that bag of soot on us I get madder than ever.”
“And after all we did for him when those bullies were misusing him!” came from Jack. “He certainly is a pill and then some!”
“Just the same, I suppose we’ve got to be careful that we don’t get into any hot water,” remarked Fred soberly. “We can’t afford to injure our reputations as officers, Jack.”
