“Oh, yeth, let’th go,” urged Tommy.
“I do not think it would be wise,” answered Harriet reflectively. “I should dearly love a swim, but I do not think it prudent. We might catch a little cold or stiffen our muscles or something of the sort. We have too much at stake to take any chances. I for one shall not go in the surf and I hope none of you girls will.”
“Harriet is right,” answered George approvingly.
“Yes, she is,” agreed Miss Elting. “But you haven’t told us the news. Mr. Herrington said you knew a lot about what had been going on here.”
George’s face took on a more serious expression.
“I’ve turned up a few facts,” he said.
“I suppose it is all settled as to who is going to win the championship cup?” said Harriet with a smile.
He nodded.
“That’s what they say. They say that the championship lies between the Scott Sisters and the two pairs known as the Fifth Avenues and the Riversides.”
“Have you seen them play?” asked Harriet.
