"No, to-night," said Jack.
"What?" returned Mr. Buxton in surprise. "Have you got all your luggage ready?"
"Yes, sir," said Buck. "We've got it with us."
"Oh, your cab is outside?" he said.
"No, sir," replied Buck, with a twinkle in his eye. "You see it all on view."
Mr. Buxton scratched his head. "Do you mean to say that you're going to start for Burmah with an umbrella apiece?"
"We do, Mr. Buxton," replied Jack. "We're going to slip off quietly. Buck thinks we're being watched."
"Watched!" cried Mr. Buxton. "By whom?"
"Can't say that," said Buck. "But there's someone takin' a deep interest in us I feel certain. I should venture to spec'late as the ruby gang want to know what we're up to."
"And you mean to start off for the other side of the world equipped merely for a stroll through the Park?" cried Mr. Buxton.
