"That reminds me," broke out Griffin. "There's a prize for the mud larks, too. I've forgotten what it is, but it'll be posted in the morning. There's your chance, young 'un. You're eligible for it." "Oh, did he though?" cried Patricia, kindling. "How clever of him to see. I thought no one dreamed!"
