“Why, Captain! We did not look for you this evening,” greeted Miss Elting.
“Thought you had given us the slip, did you?” grinned George. “You’ll have to get up earlier in the morning, to do that.”
“Oh, won’t you though!” chorused his companions trooping in after their captain.
“But how did you find us?” questioned Harriet.
“Easiest thing in the world. We followed Miss McCarthy’s car tracks.”
“Where to?” twinkled Jane.
“All over the country. You surely led us a fine chase. But we found you, just the same.”
Tommy now ventured from the tent.
“Thay, you nearly thcared me to death,” she chided. “What do you boyth want?”
“Why, Tommy, they came to serenade us,” reproved Miss Elting. “We enjoyed the music very much,” she said, turning toward the boys. “If you will sit down and play another selection, we will serve refreshments afterwards. Jane! Will you get the things ready?”
