He handed a scrap of paper to Tommy. "It was wrapped round a letterweight." On the paper were scrawled three words: "To-morrow same time." "Good egg!" cried Tommy. "We're getting going."

What did you say?"
The Fish swam hither and thither with such frolicsome darts that his back fin made the water fly. "E han!" whooped the Fish, "this is where I live!"
