It'll be an awfully long day,
said Robin.
Yes,
said Peter and Jan.
"We'd better do something then," said Robin.
Yes,
said Peter and Jan again.
But it was difficult to know exactly what to do! For to-day was the day on which the Lennox cousins were to arrive—Dick and Donald, who had been invited to spend the last weeks of the holidays with the Vaughans. The Vaughans had been looking forward to this day immensely, but now it had come at last they felt that they could hardly get through the hours before their visitors would actually arrive. There would be tons of things,
as Peter said, "to do then," but there seemed nothing to do to-day.
Let's go over to the Island,
said Robin at last.
The island lay in the middle of the river that flowed at the bottom of the Vaughans' garden; it was only the work of a few minutes to pull across to the wooded little place where Brown the gardener had his cottage, but where, otherwise, the birds had it pretty much to themselves, as Jan said.
For the Vaughans were tremendously hard workers; Robin was entered for his first real exam.; Peter and Jan were each head of their forms at their respective schools, and meant to keep head.
Thus the Island certainly was left to the birds except in the holidays; but—a holiday camp was to be one of the tremendous pleasures ahead when the Lennoxes came.
For they're Scouts, you see, like us, so they're sure to be keen,
Robin had said, in appealing to his mother.
It'll be such awfully good practice,
Peter had gone on.
And, as I'm a Guide——!
Jan had begun.
Mrs. Vaughan had laughed; she was a jolly good mother for Scouts and Guides to have,
as the boys and girls declared, because she never fussed.
She trusted them and left them to themselves, so that they might learn self-reliance,
as she told them. After she had laughed, however, on this occasion she shook her head. I have no objection to your camping out for a night or two,
she said. After all, Robin camped with his troop last year, and the holiday won't have done much for him if he can't captain the rest of you over on the Island, but——
"Oh, Mother!" said Jan, who guessed what was coming.
"Yes, I won't have Jan sleeping out of doors. Pneumonia two years ago, you remember, Jan? Or perhaps you don't,—you were too small; but—I do! No, Jan may choose either to sleep at home and join the boys by day, or— Mrs. Vaughan wrinkled her brow—
perhaps Gardener's wife, Mrs. Brown, has a spare room. Yes, of course she has. Now, Jan, would you feel more on the spot and more of a regular camper if I could arrange for you to sleep in the Island Cottage?
Oh, yes." Jan's eyes sparkled with delight.
And the Lennox boys are Scouts too, so they'll be willing enough, I've no doubt,
went on Mrs. Vaughan. "In fact I mentioned something of the plan to your aunt, and she seemed
