“Yes, I think so,” and Mrs. Martin smiled.
“Oh, who is it?” cried Ted and Janet together. For when their mother smiled in that queer way they knew something good was in store for them.
“Well, the other day I wrote a letter, inviting some company to come here to visit us,” she said. “Just now I have their answer and they are coming on the eleven-o’clock train. Uncle Ben is going over to the Point to meet it, and I thought you would like to go with him. But if you would rather go fishing——”
“Oh, no!” cried Ted. “We want to see the company; don’t we, Jan?”
“Yes! Who is it?”
“See if you can’t guess. I’m not going to tell you,” said Mrs. Martin with a laugh.
Well, the Curlytops guessed. Grandpa Martin? Uncle Prank? Aunt Jo? But their mother only shook her head after each guess.
“You’ll have to wait and see,” she told them.
So you can well imagine how excited Ted and Janet were when they got ready to go over to the Point in the motor boat with Uncle Ben to meet the company that was to come to camp. The Point was the nearest railroad station for Silver Lake, and it was on the other side of the sparkling water from where Sunnyside Bungalow was built.
“Do you know who is coming, Uncle Ben?” asked Ted, as he and his sister took their seats in the launch.
