"They are down along the river, just above the boathouse." "Thank you." "I'll show you if you want me to," went on Max.
"You might come along, if you have nothing else to do," answered Songbird.
The two walked toward the river, and after a few minutes espied Flockley and the others sitting on some rocks, in the sun, talking earnestly.
"I want to hear what they are saying," said Songbird.
