"We thought your new junk wagon broke down." "Don't say anything against his new junk Wagon or he'll never tell us anything." "Did you put the baby to bed?" "Yes and locked him in." "What kept you so late?" "We got mixed up with a Bandit of Harrowing Highway." "Who's he?" "He's a villyan." "A which?" "A movie play." "That's a nice thing for two scoutmasters to go and see.
When those trustees and scoutmasters once get busy with the handbook, good night, it reminds you of boyhood's happy school days." "It's all on page thirty," Skinny said; "and I've done all of those ten things, because the tracking made ten, and Mr. Elting said as long as you said you saw me do it, it's all right, because he knows you tell the truth."
Perhaps, he thought, it would be well if more scoutmasters were like that. He thought that returned soldiers must make good scoutmasters. He suspected that scoutmasters out west must be different. Of one thing he felt certain, and that was that the scouts in William Barnard's troop must worship him.
Well, you should have heard the fellows shout for Skinny. Merry Christmas! but that was some noise. They all stood up, the Elks too, and gave him the biggest send-off I ever heard at Temple Camp. Even the scoutmasters and the trustees joined in and old Uncle Jeb kept shouting, "Hooo ray! Hooo ray!" Cracky, you would have laughed if you'd heard him.
Poke up the fire, Nick, we're cold, and I'll tell you all about our adventures. We've made a day of it, huh?" The scout whom he called Nick jogged up the waning blaze while others brought a fresh log, and soon the camp-fire was roaring a warming, hearty welcome home to the weary scoutmasters. "Well, the first thing we did when we got ashore was to " "Get out of the boat?" a scout asked.
It is, however, not impossible that, with all their scoutmasters and chaplains and services of thanksgiving for victory, a very large part of the clergy will find themselves so closely allied with militarism when the war is over, so confused in their appreciation of what it has done for us, that they will continue to mumble only general principles and halting counsels.
The car in which Scout Harris was being carried reached the lake and still Peter Piper poured over his scout handbook by the dim, oily smelling lamp, up in that little room. The two scoutmasters rowed across and were greeted by their noisy troops and still Peter Piper read his book.
His manner had a touch of nonchalance, or rather, perhaps of indifference, which struck one or two of the visiting scoutmasters unfavorably.
Then Tom couldn't remember whether it was in the handbook or not.... "Anyway, he's got the right idea about good turns," he reflected. "I met lots of scouts that never read the handbook; I met scoutmasters, too...." And indeed there were few scouts, or scoutmasters either, who had followed the trail through the handbook with the dogged patience of Tom Slade.
It was some time before order could be restored, for all were talking at once, notwithstanding the frantic efforts of the scoutmasters to restrain them. "Do you really wish to give up all claim to the prize?" the Governor asked troop seven, as soon as he could get a hearing. "We do," came as one from the thirty boys. "We cannot accept it."
