Chick shot an appealing look at Bert, but the latter only grinned and said: “Good scheme, Tommy. You New Yorkers must hang together. Maybe you can get Chick to play with you a bit during vacation!”

“Sure!” Tommy bestowed a last lingering look of affection on Chick and ambled to the door. There, “Well, see you to-morrow!” he added cheerfully.
“Heaven forbid!” moaned Chick devoutly under his breath.
“Night, Bert.” Tommy almost vanished. Then, however, his round countenance came into view again. “Say, I almost forgot, fellows! Have some peanuts?”
