“Couldn’t it have been one of the Cubs from Den 1?” demanded Fred.
Dan reminded the boys that during the filming of the banquet scene all of the Cubs had taken part.
“Someone was watching us from the bushes,” Brad confirmed the younger boy’s opinion. “Too bad we didn’t get a clearer impression of him.”
At the request of the Cubs, Mr. Holloway ran through the film a third time. However, it was impossible for anyone to identify the stranger in the scene.
Mr. Holloway, Dan and Brad were of the opinion that the intruder was another boy. The others thought he had looked older and might be a man.
“At any rate, we know there’s a little substance to our ‘ghost of the castle,’” Dan laughed. “Maybe next time we’re out there, we can catch him. I don’t like the idea of being spied on.”
Mr. Holloway and Mr. Hatfield devoted some time to discussing the various scenes of the play with the boys, pointing out where improvement could be made.
“For the movie we’ll need titles,” the Den Dad explained. “Also, it will be necessary to do a great deal of editing and cutting in the final version. We’ll need a committee.”
“Make Dan chairman,” suggested Brad. “He knows the Robin Hood story better than anyone.”
“I’ll appoint Dan, Red and Chips,” Mr. Holloway said. “There will be plenty of work to do because we must start the final filming by next Saturday.”
