"Ah, what's that?" cried Rand, "you'll do what? How do you spell
it?"
"Elucidate--explain--make dear," replied Pepper. "Do I make myself
comprehensible?"
"Another one," groaned Rand. "Say, Pepper, skip the hard ones, and
tell us what's troubling you."
"What I was going to say," went on Pepper, "was, don't you think--now
don't interrupt--that it would be a good idea to have Gerald Moore
and Dick Wilson meet with us to have a talk about the Scout business?"
"Seems as if it might be," admitted Donald.
"What made you think of having Gerald join us, Jack?" asked Rand.
"I suppose you had some good reason."
"Well, I hardly know," responded Jack. "It just came into my head
while the colonel was talking the other day. He's an all-around
good fellow, you know, even if he does not have much money. Full
of fun, and you can depend upon him every time."
"That's reason enough," agreed Rand. "I don't know much about him,
except that he was in our class at school, and I'm afraid I have
had a little grudge against him."
"What for?" cried Pepper.
