“Now tell me where you live, and I’ll see about getting you two shipwrecked ones home,” went on Mr. Narr. And when the Curlytops told him they were spending the summer at Sunset Beach Mr. Narr exclaimed:
“Sunset Beach! Why, that’s where my secretary is staying! Mr. Keller! Perhaps you know him?”
“Yes—yes—we know him,” admitted Ted, his heart beating rather fast. Somehow, as he said afterward, he felt as though something was going to happen.
“You do, eh?” exclaimed Mr. Narr, in surprise. “So you know my Mr. Keller, do you? Well, that’s good. I wonder if you could take him a message for me?”
“We’ll be glad to,” said Teddy, politely.
“Very good. Tell him, please, that I’m stopping here—I guess he knows that, though. And tell him I’m coming over to see him in a day or so. Just tell him Mr. Narr is coming to see him.”
“Yes, sir,” murmured Teddy. “Is that all?”
“Well, if you think you can remember it, I’ll give you a bit more of a message,” went on Mr. Narr. “Do you think you can?”
“I’ll remember it all right,” Teddy said, his heart beating faster than ever.
“I’ll help him,” offered Janet. And she, too, felt that something was going to happen.
