"What's wrong?"
"You would call in the whole House, would you?"
"Why not?" said Dink, thirsting for the applause of the multitude.
"Dink, oh, Dink!" said the Shad, in profound sorrow. "You would throw away a secret worth millions, would you?"
Dink looked at Dennis, who returned the look, and then with a simultaneous motion they sat down.
"This invention has millions in it, millions," said the Tennessee Shad, promoter. "It is simple, but revolutionary. Every room in the school must be equipped with it."
"Then there's all the apartment houses," said Dennis eagerly.
"That will come later," said the Tennessee Shad.
"We'll patent it," said Stover, seeing clouds of gold.
