"And don't give us away to the Grey Foxes!" added Judith.
The Captain shook her head in disapproval, but she said nothing more, so the girls ran off to whisper to Mr. Gilroy that he was the cause of a dreadful quarrel!
CHAPTER ELEVEN
A CANOE TRIP
The scouts were so busy with canoeing, swimming, and hiking, during the week following the dinner-party that they saw very little of Mr. Gilroy, although they knew whenever he called at the camp, because he generally brought feed for the calf and pig. These two unusual pets were becoming quite sociable, and would follow the girls around the clearing when meals were being prepared. Jake always went wherever the scouts went, and he particularly enjoyed the long walks. But he ignored the calf and pig completely when in camp.
About a week after the Grey Fox boys had visited Dandelion Camp, Mr. Gilroy came down early in the morning.
"I have to get up at dawn if I want a word with you scouts, these times," laughed he, as he caught them eating breakfast.
"Sit down and have some," Julie invited, making room for him beside her.
"Can't—haven't time. I've got an important engagement with the Grey Fox boys, but you were first on my calling list."
