"Some wicked person must have taken them!" said Marjie.
"I would like to catch him," said Robin.
"Then catch me, Robin!" said Marjie.
Robin gazed at her. Then a light broke over his face.
"Oh, I see!" he cried: "you put them on while I was sliding! Well, now we can take turns with the skates!"
Marjie thought, as she gave Robin a hug, that there was never a dearer friend than he!
