“All right, come on—but your blood be upon your own head,” warned Burd, with a grin.
After they had gone Jessie and Darry looked at each other and laughed.
“I am almost as curious as Amy to meet Aunt Emma,” confessed Jessie. “She must be a very unusual person.”
“She is kind-hearted and full of pep and fun, but as domineering as they make ’em,” pronounced Darry. “Just the same, this trip to Forest Lodge is a mighty fine idea. I prophesy we won’t have a slow minute while we are up there.”
“How do we go, and when?” asked Jessie, with a mounting impatience to start on this adventure.
“As soon as you girls are ready, I suppose,” returned Darry. “And as for our means of transportation, I gather from what Burd has let drop that we will drive up in Miss Alling’s car—Aunt Emma driving,” he finished, with a chuckle.
“Well, as long as Aunt Emma doesn’t try to put up our radio set for us, we won’t complain,” laughed Jessie.

“Speaking of radio,” Jessie said suddenly, the matter of the five-dollar bill coming to her mind, “have you heard anything about the circulation of counterfeit money, Darry?”
The latter shook his head and looked surprised. Jessie told him of the special radio announcement that had come to them the night before and of their subsequent finding that the five-dollar bill in Amy’s possession was a counterfeit.
