"Dick, what shall we do next?" questioned Tom. "We can't stay here, that's certain."
"We'll get out," answered Dick. "I think Mrs. Stanhope will keep us all night."
"And if she won't, I know the Lanings will," said Tom, with a grin.
"We must let Sam know," went on Dick. "He can go along. I shan't come back until Captain Putnam returns."
"Right you are."

"What's up now? What are you in such a hurry for?"
"Get your overcoat and hat, and come on. We are going to the Stanhopes for the night. Here, Tubbs, is some supper," and Dick passed over what he had in the napkins, while Tom did the same.
"Thanks," said the rich boy. "But—but must I stay here alone?"
