“Well, we’ll go and take a look!” said Mr. Blake, the storekeeper, after thinking a few minutes. “I’ll get my wife to stay behind the counter to-morrow, and I’ll go up and look over this Gypsy camp.”
“And may we come and bring back Skyrocket—that is, if he’s there?” begged Teddy.
Mr. Blake looked at Uncle Ben.
“I wish you could take the children there,” said the sailor. “How would it be if we all went in the motor boat to-morrow? I could run you up to the end of the lake, and you could go to the camp from there, couldn’t you?”
“Yes, that would be the best way,” answered Mr. Addison. “It’s nearer by water, too, than by going around the road.”
“Could you come with us to show us where the camp is, and where you saw the yellow dog?” asked Mr. Blake.
“Yes, I could go with you,” was the answer.
“Then we’ll make up a party, and go up to the end of the lake the first thing in the morning,” decided Uncle Ben. “I’m sure Mr. and Mrs. Martin will let the children go if there is a chance to get back Skyrocket.”
“Oh, I hope you can find him!” whispered Lola to Janet.
“I hope so, too,” replied the little Curlytop girl.
