“Well, write the whole of this expedition up and sell it to a magazine, if you want money.”
“B’gosh!” said Hank, “that’s not a bad idea—only it would give the show away.”
“Not a bit, pretend it’s fiction.”
“It sounds like fiction,” said Tommie. “I don’t mind. You can stick me in as much as you like.”
“I’ll do it, maybe,” said Hank.
