“Well,” said Nelson, “I don’t pretend to know what the law is in such cases, but I’m for getting Spencer back to his home. Maybe we’ll get in trouble about it, though. What do you fellows say?”
“Trouble be blowed!” said Dan. “If he hasn’t got the law on his side, he ought to have.”
“That’s so,” said Bob. “We’ll help him along. How about it, Tommy?”
“If we du-du-du-don’t we deserve tu-tu-to be ki-ki-ki-ki——”
“You’re missing sparks, Tommy,” warned Nelson.
“Water in his gasoline,” said Dan, with a grin.
“——to be kicked!” ended Tom explosively and earnestly.

“Just about holding her own, I’d say,” was Bob’s verdict. “What are your plans, Nel?”
“Make for Provincetown, over there. We ought to reach it a little after dark at this rate.”
