“How?” Belle demanded.
“By watching those two seats. As soon as the fellows came in to take their places we could have an officer arrest them.”
“Please don’t try it on me,” begged the young lady who had purchased the coupons. “I don’t want a scene,” and she regarded Walter smilingly.
“Of course not,” agreed Cora. “Oh, dear! My nice car, that I was counting on taking to Camp Surprise with me.”
“We’ll get it back before then!” declared Jack.
“Oh! but we’re going earlier than we planned originally,” said Belle.
“And she wants you boys to come, too!” cried Bess.
“No more than you do!” snapped Belle, her fair face flushing.
“What’s the idea?” asked Walter.
“It’s getting so unbearably warm,” said Cora, and then she explained that they might go earlier than originally planned to the bungalow camp in the mountains.
