"Not particularly," Jack replied.
"Not particularly what?"
"Well."
"Oh, I see, and what's wrong?"
"That's what we don't know," Bob told him. Then he gave him an account of what had happened in the night.
"But you said you'd keep out of danger," Jeb said, turning to Jack after Bob had finished.
"But I didn't know that cloud was going to break open just at that time. You see, there would have been no danger if it hadn't."
"No, I don't see, but we'll let it go at that," Jeb said dryly. "Did you say you heard him say to-morrow?"
"The day after to-morrow," Jack corrected him. "To-day's Wednesday and, as he was speaking last night, I suppose he meant Thursday."
"That's the way we took it, but it was after twelve and I suppose he might have meant Friday," Bob suggested.
