“And Mr. Richards said he would bring down that music teacher who used to direct the band,” added Miss Selina.
“We’ll have quite an opera company as well as an orchestra at Happy Hills,” laughed Uncle Ben, highly pleased at something.
“I guess I’ll stay at Happy Hills the rest of the Summer, Uncle Ben, and help play the drum,” now ventured Don.
“Pooh! A lot you’d play! You’d only beat it!” exclaimed Dot, for she knew there would be no place for her in the band.
“He’ll beat it from here, all right, when we go home again,” laughed Jinks.
“As soon as I finish my breakfast, I’m going over to the camp and make a tour of each Nest. I have important information to secure before noon. What do you boys and girls propose doing?” now asked Uncle Ben.
“Can’t we go with you?”
“You can go to the camp but not with me on my tour of inspection. You must amuse yourselves this morning.”
“All right! We’ll go and help the Street Cleaning Department,” offered Don.
“And we girls can watch the Health Board work. I think it must be great fun to see those girls teach the younger ones how to clean their teeth and chew their food!” giggled Ruth.
