“This afternoon?” asked Jack. “I don’t know. What’s up?”
“Well, can you come with us and show us Nobody’s Island? Hal says he knows where it is and can go right to it, but I don’t trust him. Will you come along?”
“Yes, if you want me to. How are you going?”
Bee nodded toward the cove. “In that,” he said sadly. “Are you brave enough?”
“I’ll risk it if you fellows will,” Jack laughed. “We can keep close to shore, you know. What time?”
“What time do we have dinner, Hal?”
“Two, on Sundays.”
“My, that’s a long way off! Well, we will say at three, Mr. Herrick. How is that?”
“Any time’s all right for me. I’ll look for you about three or a little later. Are you still thinking of digging for old Verny’s treasure?”
