"Unless those girls took him to Edgemere," said Brownie.
"I don't think they'd do that, they spoke well of Edgemere," said Townsend.
"There's no telling where he'll drift to," said Nuts.
"Please don't talk about drifting," said Townsend. "The way I feel about drifting I don't ever want to look at a snow-drift. I can't even listen to the drift of a person's conversation. How about you, Joe?"
"De Discov'r's all right," said Joe, loyally.
"I wouldn't say he's all right," said Townsend; "but when he's wrong he's at his best. That's what I think, Joe."
"He's always at his best," said Brownie.
"Except when he's at his worst," said Townsend, "and then he's best of all. That's logic, as he would say. I wonder what he'll bring back with him. Let's each guess; I guess a carpet sweeper. How about you, Joe?"
Joe only smiled, but did not venture a guess.
"I guess an alarm clock and a headlight from an automobile," said Brownie.
