“As soon as you can get ready. I am eager to get Arnold located. Then I can begin my campaign against him.”
“I will start at once, sir. Have you any instructions to give?”
“None, except to say, find Arnold.”
“Very well, sir. If there is nothing else you wish to say, I will go.”
“That is all, Dick. Find Arnold, and then report to me as quickly as possible.”
“I will do my best, sir.” Then Dick saluted and withdrew, and hastened back to the point where his comrades were. The moment they caught sight of his glowing face, they uttered exclamations.
“You are going in search of Arnold’s army, I’ll wager!” exclaimed Tom.
“Yah, dot is vot he is goin’ to do,” nodded Fritz.
“Av coorse,” said Tim. “He’s the bye thot can foind Arnold, av innywan can.”
“Yes, I’m going in search of Arnold’s army,” said Dick.
