"Dick's a jolly good fellow, too," put in Pepper.
"For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow," sang Jack, whereupon they ail joined in the refrain.
"Said anything to them about it?" asked Don, when they had sung it over and over until they were tired.
"Well, hardly," replied Jack, "considering it was only the day before yesterday that we thought of it, though I suppose if we are going to do anything it is time we were getting about it."
"Ah reckon dat am so," drawled Rand, then changing his tone he went on: "What do you say to having a meeting to-night and talking it over? We can have Gerald and Dick come and make a start if we like."
"That's the way, Rand," approved Pepper, "if you are going to do things, do them!"
"I see no objection," concluded Donald.
"Of course you don't," returned Pepper. "Do you know why?"
"Why, Pepper?" asked Donald.
"Because there isn't any," retorted Pepper.
