"After all, Percy isn't such a bad sort," remarked Roy, as he walked with Grace and Mollie up the drive leading to Edgemere. "He came in very useful to-day, at all events," Mollie agreed. "I think I shall teach him that new aeroplane whirl in the hesitation he is so anxious to learn." "Oh, a dance!" acclaimed Grace. "I'm just dying for one."
While Edgemere and Bridgeboro fought he would become a war millionaire. The little island, retired from its wild career at last and with a secure and fixed abode would still play an important part in world affairs. "I tell you what we'll do," said Pee-wee; "we'll sell seats for people to see the races from the island.
The boys, their kind offer refused, had gone off on a fishing jaunt that is, all but Will, and he had not returned from Boston. Grace had a hasty note from him in which he stated that work connected with his new duties would keep him busy for a week or so, after which he hoped to join his friends at Edgemere. "No news of a diamond robbery around Boston," he wrote, in a letter.
Out into the hall poured the others of Edgemere Cottage, attired in a nondescript collection of garments hastily donned. Will, in his bath robe, had his collar and tie in his hand, though it is doubtful if he wore an article of dress to which it could be attached. From the servants' rooms came frantic demands to know if the house were on fire. "No, it's all right!" called Mr. Nelson.
When he had put the racing fans on the Edgemere trolley, Pee-wee, like Jack ashore, betook himself into Bridgeboro to have his fling before returning to the ship. The habit of sailors home from long voyages is well known, and we need not be surprised to find him bending his steps toward Bennett's Fresh Confectionery, where he climbed onto one of the stools before the soda fountain.
"We're going to have some events on Saturday," he said. "This fellow with me is from the Edgemere High School and " "He's going to get beaten," shouted Pee-wee; "because Bridgeboro High School can lick all the high schools around here, in athletics and debates and everything." "That's all right, Kiddo," said the fellow from Edgemere High School. "You bet it's all right," said Pee-wee.
They knew if they didn't come back that you would know enough to come home, or they may have planned to return to you later." "What had we better do?" asked Grace. "Get back to Edgemere as soon as we can," was Allen's opinion. "We'll probably find them waiting for us." They piled into the motor boat, and used all speed in getting back.
If he goes ashore they may get lost, if he stays here we're all lost." "True," said Billy. "Absolutely correct," said Brownie. "That's what you call an argument," said Roly Poly. "It's a teckinality," said Nuts. "Discoverer," said Townsend, "the patrol thinks that you are the proper one to escort our guests to the Edgemere trolley." "Isn't that perfectly lovely!" said one of the girls.
"I cannot tell you yet, darling, just how we vanquished the old ogre," said he. "Be brave, and remember that a feast of long-deferred love-tidings awaits you to-night. I have already sent away all my own luggage. A horse and a well-mounted orderly will be here at four, and so I shall not lose you from sight even a moment until you are safe in General Wragge's home at Edgemere.
The two canoes, with Edgemere a little ahead as well as they could see, came gliding up the river, two streaks, red and green, in the sunshine . . . The canoe race, which was the first of the events, was also the best as well as the last. Never was there wilder excitement on Pee-wee's island than when the green and red canoes glided northward, approaching the turning point.
