"Who do you want us to invite—if we can come?" questioned Dick.
"Oh, Dick, we'll leave that to you. Of course we want all who were on the houseboat," and Dora looked at the Rovers and Songbird and Hans.
"With Fred that will make six. Shall I ask Larry Colby and George Granbury?"
"If you want to—and two more. But please don't ask those boys we just met," went on Dora, hastily.
"You mean Tad Sobber and Nick Pell?" questioned Tom, quickly.
"One called the other Nick. He was a very large lad," said Mrs. Stanhope.
"Sobber and Pell sure," murmured Tom. "What did they do?"
"Stood right in the middle of the road and would not get out of the way," explained Grace. "I think they were perfectly horrid!"
"They made us drive around to one side and we nearly went into a ditch," added Dora.
"And then, after we had passed, they burst out laughing at us," continued Nellie. "They certainly weren't a bit nice."
