We'll make it in a walk, announced Nap, consulting his watch.

It's just 9:57 now. We'll cover those four miles of lake in thirty minutes. That's 10:27. Maybe we'll waste five minutes landing and getting the boat taken care of; that will bring it to 10:32. And if we can't cover the mile to Harrison City and get on the train in eighteen minutes more, we ought to turn in our Scout badges.

Somebody camping on Shadow Island,

I don't see any smoke, Bi commented.
human
I don't see any tents, either. There's somebody standing on the shore, but there's a boat there, too. Chances are it's just a fisherman.
gpt
Do you see that line of washing to the left, hung between those two trees? Did you ever hear of any fisherman who went over to Shadow Island to do his washing?
human
I'm licked, Bi admitted.
gpt
Who is it? Are you enough of a Sherlock Holmes to tell us from here?
human
I know who it is. S. S. joined the conversation.
gpt
It's two families from Harrison City, cousins of Marion Genevieve Chester. She told me so, and she's over there visiting them to-day.
human
I guess it won't break her heart if we pass right by without calling on her. She has about as much to do with us as she has with a bunch of rattlesnakes, and that's not a whole lot.
gpt
She thinks we still dislike her for being president of the student association, Bunny observed mildly.
human
And she hasn't forgotten how Bi allowed her to get scared at Molly's picnic. She just thinks we haven't any use for her and wouldn't lift a finger to get her out of any trouble.

Marion Genevieve Chester! Wow, what a name!
