CHAPTER XIX
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
New York! The very sound of the name thrilled me. It was all I could do to keep from following the twins in their demonstration of joy and gratitude lavished on their father. I contented myself, however, by rumpling up my father's hair.
"When?" gasped Father, when I had finished with him.
"Immediately if not sooner!" said Zebedee, coming out unscathed from the embraces of his girls. "I have been thinking a lot about it and I really believe it would be the best thing for them. They can in a way find themselves, and they don't get in any more scrapes without us than they do with us."
"That's so," agreed Father.
"Oh, we won't get in any scrapes at all!" declared Dee.
"Not a single one, if you only trust us!" maintained Dum.
