"Did you find out anything?" asked Happy Jack eagerly, before Tommy had a chance to say a word.
"DID YOU FIND OUT ANYTHING?" ASKED HAPPY JACK EAGERLY.
Tommy nodded. "He's there!" he panted, for he was quite out of breath from hurrying so.
"Where?" Happy Jack fairly shouted the question.
"Over there in the house," replied Tommy Tit.
"Then he hasn't gone away! It's just as I said, he hasn't gone away!" cried Happy Jack, and he was so relieved that he jumped up and down and as a result nearly tumbled out of the tree.
"No," replied Tommy, "he hasn't gone away, but I think there is something the matter with him."
Happy Jack grew very sober. "What makes you think so?" he demanded.
