"I suppose so," admitted Russ.
"Well, you'd better hurry. I want you to put out the light. How do you suppose we can sleep?"
Russ reached up and snapped out the electric bulb as Rose threw aside her bath-gown and hopped into bed beside her sister.
"You can't see to undress in the dark, Russ," scolded Rose.
Russ did not say a word. He got up and walked into his mother's and father's stateroom, and greatly to his sister's vexation he closed the door between the two rooms.
Daddy Bunker had just come in.
"Why, Russ," said he, "haven't you gone to bed yet?"
"No, sir," said Russ. "And I guess I can't. I've got to talk to you first. I guess I can't go to sleep till I've told you something."
Daddy smiled at Mother Bunker but nodded to Russ.
"All right," he said. "We will go out on deck again and take a turn up and down and you shall tell me all about it."
