caused the others each to make a secret
resolution-one that he would be very care
full not to fall into the river, and if he did
to fish himself out and say nothing about
it, another to not let any hoot-owls frighten
birn another to keep careful watch over the
potatoes, and if they should accidentally get
scorched, to have a place to put them where
they wouldn't be discovered by the others;
and another to not eat very much before

Your first duty" said Will, returning to
that subject will be to go down to Beams
and buy good-sized notebook to use both

The others were half inclined to take up
