You get busy and think of something I could put on.” “Jessie could make you a suit out of a blanket,” said Benny suddenly. “I really could!” cried Jessie. “It’s lucky we brought along Violet’s workbag. I’ll make you a pair of pants out of a blanket. And you can put on your new sweater while your things dry.” “Good for you, Jessie,” said Henry. “Now let’s be sure we have thought of everything we want, so I won’t have to go out again.” “I have an idea,” said Benny. “Why don’t you put on your swimming suit to go outside and then your clothes won’t get wet?”

“Jessie said, “Fine. But we need some lunch. Let’s get some food from the store here and then go.” Grandfather agreed and let Jessie plan to get what was needed. “We can eat in the woods before we go up the trail,” she said. The Aldens were soon on their way, Henry driving in the lead. When they had driven as far as they could into the woods, Henry and Mr. Carter parked the cars. Lunch was quickly eaten because everyone was so curious about the Indian in the woods. Benny called back, “When we get there, do you think it is all right to knock on the door?” “I should think so,” said Henry. “What else can we do? We want to go in and meet him, don’t we? The ranger said he was perfectly harmless.”

That is, she rolled two potatoes to each one. “Now let’s put the canned milk in the water pail with some spring water.” “What a dinner!” cried Benny. “I don’t like canned milk when I’m home. But it tastes all right here.” It was certainly queer not to have any dishes except a water pail and milk cans. But even as the wind kept on blowing and the rain kept on falling, everyone was very happy to have tin cups and a water pail. “We are pretty lucky to have anything to eat,” said Violet. “If you hadn’t found the bag, Benny, we wouldn’t be eating now.” The children opened the hot potatoes with sticks. They ate them with small sticks. “Awfully hot, aren’t they?” said Henry, burning his fingers. “But aren’t they delicious!” “We have to eat slowly this time,” said Joe. “Make them last as long as you can.”

“Haven’t you any old birds’ nests and stones and model airplanes?” asked Maggie. “Oh, can I keep that kind of things?” cried Mike. “Certainly,” said Aunt Jane. “There’s no good living here, if you can’t have your own things.” “Oh, oh!” cried Mike. “Can I have Spotty, too?” “Yes,” said Aunt Jane. “Lady always stays in my room.” She stopped. “But what will Watch say?” “I don’t think he will say much,” said Mike. “They didn’t fight on Surprise Island.” “That’s right,” said Henry to Aunt Jane. “They got”
