“We could lend them our camp,” went on Cleo bravely. “We all have cottages here.”
“So we could, and there are two weeks yet before the general schools open,” sang back Grace. “I would just love to let the most needy of a group like that have two weeks at Comalong.”
“So should I,” declared Louise. “Let’s try to do it.”
“There’s the caretaker; get a name and address from her,” suggested Julia hurriedly.
“Better have Mackey do it,” said Corene, who promptly sidled up to the director with the proposition.
“I don’t know,” demurred Miss Mackin in answer, “but it won’t do any harm to have a name and address.” So she in turn stepped up to the director of the excursion party.
The children, she learned, were from a tenement district, and were not technically sick, but oh, how pitifully near it!
As each little victim passed along, the Bobbies’ determination grew.
They would be happy to surrender their beloved camp for such a human cause as this.
