"But how strange! you were not invited," said their mother.
"Oh, yes, I 'vited 'Ilip and 'Ilip Vited me!"
"What would you have done if you had reached the yacht?"'
"I was going to 'duce 'Ilip to the Tommodore and 'Ilip was going to 'duce me."
"But you must not introduce people anywhere unless you are welcome yourself and invited. When the Commodore invites my little boys, I will take them out to his yacht and introduce them myself. Besides, the water is very rough and you are too young to row a boat so far."
"We could do it;'cause 'Ilip rowed one oar and I rowed the other. We like it."
Their mother was very glad to get them back again, and the good Commodore never knew what funny little guests he missed seeing that summer morning.
