“I could handle six just now,” Grove put in.

“Some bunch!” I said; “any one would think we were hunting for sodas instead of buried treasure.”

“If I had a soda it would be a buried treasure in about ten seconds,” Pee-wee shouted. Can you beat that kid?

Harry said, “Well, here we are talking about ice-cream sodas when the paramount issue is a five hundred dollar check.”

“What kind of an issue?” Pee-wee piped up.

Grove said, “I vote not to take it.”

“I’ll take the same,” Pee-wee said.

“Where do you think you are; in a candy store?” I asked him.

“I mean I vote the same,” he said.
