"Come to think of it," Tom replied soberly, "I believe he was."
"Then Hen's yarns are true?" asked Toby.
"They must be," Dick responded. "Who ever knew Hen to tell an untruth?"
"Say, stop your fooling, won't you?" begged Toby. "What did Hen actually do out in the forest."
"Why, he ate at least his share," asserted Tom.
"And got his share of sleep," Darrin added.
"He also did his full share of housework," Hazelton supplied, with a grin.
"We're glad he had such a good time," Dick went on politely.
"But did he really do any of the hero stunts that he's telling about?" Toby persisted.
"Not knowing what he's telling about, I really can't say," Prescott answered.
