"Sure thing," answered Jack, "but we'll have to hustle, as it's after nine now."
On the way across the boys told their father about the visit of the two men and he agreed with them as to their motive. They landed Mr. Golden just in time for his car and, as they were casting off, they saw Mr. Wright running down the wharf towards them.
"Don't forget, boys, that you are coming to see us today."
"All right, sir," replied Bob, "We'll be down right after supper."
"And bring your sister and her friend with you," invited Mr. Wright.
"We'll do that," answered Jack eagerly.
The boys made good time back to the cottage, and spent the rest of the day playing tennis with the girls and swimming in the lake. As soon as supper was over, accompanied by the two girls, they started down the lake to make their promised call.
"Hope to goodness they don't make a big fuss over us," grumbled Jack.
"Oh, you are too modest," declared Edna.
They spent a very pleasant evening with the Wrights, although poor Jack's worst fears were realized, for it seemed that Mr. and Mrs. Wright could not praise them enough for saving their children. The two little girls, who were twins about ten years old, were very profuse with their thanks, fairly hugging both boys, to their embarrassment, which, however, greatly delighted both Edna and May. To their great surprise, Mr. Wright presented each of the boys with a very pretty gold watch "Not," he said, "to pay you for saving my girls, for I could never do that, but as a slight token of my gratitude."
