Preparing their tackle they lost no time in lowering an alluring bait to the finny denizens of the water. Evidently the fish were hungry for not many minutes passed before Harry felt a tug at his line. He began reeling in rapidly. "Oh, what a whopper," exclaimed Arnold peering over the side of the boat. "It's as long as my arm and big as a good sized stove pipe, I believe.
"That's all right, and very good, but if we want any game we've got to keep quiet," said the doctor's son after the song was ended. "Right you are," answered Whopper promptly. "And as I'd rather eat later than sing now I'll shut up." They followed the shore line of Lake Cameron, heading for the rocky watercourse that connected that body of water with Firefly Lake.
Stone, whose English is perfect, delighted to learn modern slang phrases. After practising them in the bosom of the family she would sometimes innocently introduce them into her addresses, invariably bringing down the house thereby. At one meeting, after telling a most remarkable story, she remarked, "You may think this is a whopper, but it is true!"
"Oh, well " and Shep could not finish. "Did you ever see the ghost?" asked Snap. "I sure did, my boy." "When?" cried Whopper. "What did it look like?" demanded Giant. "I see the ghost less nor a month ago -when I was up to Lake Narsac after fish. It was a foggy morning, an' I was fishing from a little island near the upper end o' the lake.
The man carried a heavy cane, which he shook at them. "Hello, it's Mr. Spink!" cried Snap. "Come to warn us away, I suppose," grumbled the doctor's son. "Shall I tell him about what was done to our clothing?" "No," answered Whopper. "We are not certain it was Ham and Carl." Mr. Spink was a tall, overbearing man, who dressed almost as loudly as did his son.
Giant was very eager to go ahead and so was Whopper -both loving the work fully as much as they loved hunting and fishing. "All right, we'll build a cabin," said Snap. "But first we must get together something to eat, as we did before."
But if she is losing her mind, perhaps it will be providential for her to go soon." "'Losing her mind'!" exclaimed Miss Crilly. "Who made up that whopper?" "Why, isn't she? One of the Board told me Mrs. Brintnall. I met her in town the other day. I think it came straight from Miss Sniffen. She said she was a great care, now that she has heart disease, and that she is liable to drop away any time.
At one point in the stream they came to a beautiful island, with elderberry bushes lining the shore and a patch of trees in the center. As they drew closer they saw several rabbits and squirrels, but did not get a chance to shoot the game. "If we run short of food we can come here," observed Snap. "That game can't get away from the island." "Shall we stop off now?" asked Whopper.
"If a heavy fall of snow should arrive it wouldn't be very nice to be caught without a good supply of wood." "Oh, we could go out in the snow and cut some," said Giant. "Not if it was real deep," put in Whopper. "I'd rather have the wood on hand, as Snap says."
And then, after a warm handshake from his father and a kiss from his mother, Snap almost ran from the house, fearful that he would be late. At the barn where the things had been stored he found Giant and Shep, but nothing was to be seen of Whopper. "I woke him up," said Giant. "Something has gone wrong, or he would be here by this time."
