“That’s why we came for you,” Jack informed him.
“Good. I’ll be with you in a minute.”
Professor Link who lived alone except for a woman who cooked and kept house for him, was a retired college professor and an authority in colonial history. He occupied a small, private house of his own and spent his time writing books on the history of the early pioneering days.
His three companions behind him, Bobolink rang the bell. The housekeeper opened the door. “Good morning, Mrs. Hix,” greeted Bobolink. “Is my grandfather in?”
Mrs. Hix answered, “He is in the library.”
The boys filed in and Bobolink knocked on the library door. “Come in,” someone called.
The boys entered. Mr. Link was a gray haired man of about sixty with a warm smile, who was very friendly to young people. “Hello, Gramps,” greeted Bobolink.
“Hello, fellows,” returned the professor. “What are you doing here?” he asked curiously.
“Just thought we would pay you a visit,” his grandson informed him.
