"Hooray for punishment!" laughed Darry. "I can take a lot of it."
"That's the first nice thing you've said," declared Miss Meade.
"I'll say a lot more if you're going to be here for the rest of
the summer vacation," promised Darry.
"Not quite as long as that," declared Dr. Bentley. "But we'll
be here for a few days. Then we'll go on to other camping places."
"You're going to be just in time for dinner to-day," Dick informed
the new arrivals.
"We'll be just in time to get our own dinner," smiled Laura.
"We have an abundance of supplies with us, and we're not going
to eat you boys out of the woods. The first meal with guests
will be when you come over to our camp and take revenge for the
descent that we made upon you the other day."
"Dick," inquired the doctor, "where do you think we could pitch
camp best?"
"It depends upon the size of your houses and tents," Prescott
answered.
"Naturally. Your answer is a good deal more sensible than my
question."
"Anyway," Dick suggested, in an undertone, "your camp should be
just far enough away so that neither camp will intrude on the
privacy of the other. I think I know a spot, if your houses are
not too large."
Dr. Bentley mentioned the sizes of the two portable houses.
