“That’s right,” said Darry, smiling. “Maybe he will feel like giving her a reward.”
“He most certainly will,” his sister declared. “And I know what she’ll ask him to do for us.”
Jessie looked at her chum knowingly. But she said quietly:
“If you boys don’t mind, Amy and I will return the watch. And I want to show it to Momsy and Daddy Norwood. It will be a surprise to the whole Norwood family, for we scarcely thought that it ever would be found.”
“What you going to do about this aerial, Jess?” Darry asked.
“You boys might help us put it up again, if it stops raining long enough. We’d like to listen in to-night, wouldn’t we, Amy?”
“Yes, indeed,” agreed her chum. “Wait till I run home and put on my radio suit.”
“Cheese!” exclaimed Burd. “Darry and I will do it while you girls are fussing-up. All girls are alike. They have to have a certain dress for every adventure.”
“Just the same,” laughed Jessie, “I mean to stay right here and see you do it. We don’t want to get those wires twisted as they did down there at the Carter place.”
“And hurry up—do,” urged Amy. “It will rain again before you know it. The Ringold picnic is going to be an awful fiasco. Bless that Spotted Snake! I am going to beg another dress from Nell Stanley for her, and take her over to the concert to-morrow.”
