“Sure we will! I tell you, Miss Helen, if anything happens to these girls, Skeeter and I’d never show our faces in camp again.”
“I know you will look after them,” said Helen. These boys were great favorites with Helen, and they admired her so extravagantly that sometimes Lil and Lucy, their sworn chums, were a bit jealous. “I’ve made your kind of sandwiches, Frank, sardines. And I’ve stuffed some eggs with minced ham the way you like them, Skeeter.”
“Bully!” exclaimed both knights.
“And I s’pose what Lil and I like or don’t like didn’t enter your head,” pouted Lucy.
“Why, Lucy, you know you like sardine sandwiches better than anything, you said so yourself,” admonished Lil.
“Helen didn’t know it.”
“If you don’t like what I put up, you can do it yourself next time,” snapped Helen.
“‘’Tis dog’s delight
To bark and bite,’”
