I really believe you
enjoyed our fright."
"Yeth. Didn't you hear me laugh when I wath down there?"
"I wouldn't say such things if I had made as much trouble as Tommy
has," declared Margery.
"Of courthe you wouldn't," agreed Tommy. "You haven't a thenthe of
humor."
"Some people have no sense at all," flung back Buster.
"We have forgotten something," interrupted Harriet. "Tommy's blanket
is down there somewhere. We ought to have it before going on in the
morning. You may keep mine for to-night, if you wish. You are going
to sit up the rest of the night, are you not, Mr. Grubb?"
"Yes. I'll take no more chances with this party on Sokoki Leap. I'll
keep the fire going the rest of the night, too. Fix your blankets so
your feet will be toward the fire. The Indians would say, 'Indian keep
him head cool, feet warm.'"
"We have done better than that this evening," answered Jane laughingly.
"We managed to keep our head and feet warm at the same time."
"I should say we have," mused Harriet. "But what about the blanket?
We do not wish to lose it."
"I'll go down and get it in the morning," said Janus.
