CHAPTER XIX
GETTING READY FOR THE TOUR
"And now for the grand tour!"
"That's the talk, Sam! We ought to have the best time ever," returned his brother Tom.
"Just to think of such an outing makes me feel five years younger," came from Dick Rover. "I like work as well as any one, but a fellow has got to break away once in a while."
"And to think we are going away out to Colorado Springs and Pike's Peak!" burst out Dora.
"And all the way in our automobiles!" added Nellie. "I hope we don't have any breakdowns."
"So it's decided that we are to start Monday morning, is it?" asked Dick's wife.
"Yes, Dora, provided it is clear," answered Sam. "Of course there is no use of our starting our trip in a storm. We'll probably get enough rain while we are on the way."
