“The best news I’ve heard in a year of Sundays,” murmured his twin in return.
The news that Codfish was going to leave Colby Hall came as something of a surprise to all of the masked figures, and at a signal from one of them they moved to a corner of the room for a whispered conversation.
“The poor little beggar is scared stiff,” came in low tones from Dan Soppinger. “We might as well let him go.”
“I’d like to pay him back for the time he reported me to Captain Dale,” put in Ned Lowe.
“Yes, and he ought to be made to suffer for reporting me to Professor Duke,” put in Fatty Hendry.
“Yes, and for the things he did for Gabe Werner against us,” added Walt Baxter. “If ever a sneak deserved a sound licking, it’s Codfish.”
“Well, we might let up on some of the things we were going to do,” whispered Randy.
“Just the same, I think he ought to be labeled for what he is,” came quickly from Andy.
“Oh, yes, we can label him all right enough,” said several of the others quickly.
