“We’ll see,” went on Phil. Then, with exasperating slowness he proceeded to read the letter. Next he carefully folded it, placed it back in the envelope, and proceeded to get into his lounging garments.
“Well?” snapped Tom, unable to keep silent longer.
“Oh, I don’t know whether you fellows will be interested or not,” said Phil slowly. “The letter was from my sister, just as I guessed, but she got Madge to direct the envelope.”
“But what’s it about?” demanded Sid.
“Oh, the annual May walk, which takes place the last of April, is about to be held at Fairview,” went on Phil, “and sis thought maybe I’d like to go with her.”
“You?” cried Tom.
“Take your own sister?” added Sid.
“Well, unless some one else relieves me——”
“I will!” cried Frank and Sid together.
