They retorted that no doubt there were plenty of husbands to be picked up without a penny, who'd be glad to come and stay at the house and idle about and eat their fill. Evidently they had overheard talk between their parents, for it had been represented to them that Cleo and her husband were only in Dover on a friendly visit to the family.
"I guess mebby as how yo' better had," he agreed. Preparations for the evening meal went on, while Captain Clark and her True Treds tidied themselves after the fishing excursion. Cleo was ready first and took a little run down to where her fire smouldered in the pit. "How do you tell when it's done?" asked Grace, joining her.
Finally, Cleo took up one oar, and Margaret the other, and they proceeded in the direction of the floating propellers. As they passed the boy's boat, the girls spoke loudly of "some one losing his oars," but even this did not arouse him. "Maybe we'll have to row him home," said Grace. "He doesn't look as if he cared much whether he ever gets back to land or not."
"Cleo is all right," said Cicely "She was badly hurt, but Bennett knows how you love her, and he is doing all he can for her. She will never hunt again, I'm afraid!" "Nor shall I!" and Maryllia sighed again, and closed her eyes to hide the tears that welled up in them.

The main gate closed. He had to be in formation, or whatever they call it, early in the morning before he could get back on base." Gino sipped coffee. "There was a river along one side of the base.
"I doubt if that will be of any use," said Margaret, beating herself frantically on the face with her hands. "These are terrible worse than mosquitoes." "Oh, it's bugs, is it?" asked Cleo. "Ouch!
