"Maybe," says I; "but I'd take a portfolio as head office boy if I knew where to butt in." "Then chase up to 2146," says he. "You'll find 'em waitin' for you with a net. Here's your car. Up!" and before I knows it I has done the skyrocket act up to floor twenty-one. Well say, you wouldn't have thought so many kids read the want ads. and had the courage to tackle an early breakfast.
He'll probably want you to help him bring down some repairs." "You think he'll try to patch up the Skyrocket?" asked Jerry. "Doesn't look hardly worth while." "Worth while!" exploded Tod.
