"As Zan was saying in the cellar, the next thing is to get our boards over to the Bluff," said Miss Miller, when the cool breeze had refreshed the girls.
"Zan said to tie them up and drag them over! Is there any difference between boards and bundles being carted by Nancy?" asked Hilda.
"Of course not! I forgot!" admitted Zan.
Miss Miller laughed at the relief shown in the faces around her. Also, at the progress the girls were making in the use of their thoughts.
"Dear, dear! That means some one will have to get Nancy!" continued Zan, after a minute's pause.
"But your private wire from the house to the cottage is not out of commission, is it?" asked the Guide.
"No-oo! but how will Nancy get here unless Bill leads her?" wondered Zan.
"Bill has to visit the garden and out-houses every morning, he said yesterday, to see if there is anything wrong. Why not ascertain on the 'phone if he has left his home. If not, he can ride Nancy over and we can use her going back; at the Bluff we can let her go down to her stall alone."
Before any comments could be given, Zan had jumped up and was running toward the house to call up Bill.
While waiting for the farmer to bring Nancy, the Band members went to the tool-house and selected what material might be needed at camp. In one corner of the place stood a partly demolished express wagon, such as children play with. Miss Miller saw it in a glance. It also happened that Zan saw it.
