"I don't," said Jardin. "I just have to keep squaring her all the time. She is an awful tattler, and if I don't keep her squared, she peaches on me. Sisters are an awful nuisance!"
"You are right," said Frank. He had never thought so before but if this wonderful young man thought so, why, it must be true.
Bill said nothing.
Jardin glanced at his wrist watch.
"Lunch time," he announced. "Come on back to the hotel and have something to eat with me."
"That suits me," said Frank.
"Sorry, but I can't accept," from Bill. "I have a couple of errands to attend to for mother and I have been fooling around so long that I will have to be pretty spry. You all go on, and I will get a bite later."
"Well, of course I will stay with you if you think you can't put your errands off for an hour or so," said Frank sulkily.
"I have put it off too long anyhow," said Bill, "but I certainly won't mind if you go."
"No, I will go with you," decided Frank.
