Jane did not like the idea of dragging out the "Red Rover" through that gathering of craft.

Neither did Harriet Burrell.

Jane was looking over the launches and their occupants as they came up to the dock either to take on or discharge passengers.

All at once she pounced upon two boys, who had left a third boy on the dock and bade him good-bye.
"Will you give us a tow ?" demanded Jane.
"Where do you want to go ?" answered one of the lads, touching his cap.
"Which way are you going ?" "Down the lake." "That's the way we are going.

Say, which way is down the lake ?" she asked Harriet in a whisper.
