"If Lucy and I should take the trip we should go in the Aurora," said Captain Acton. "Yep. They're in a can in my pocket. Did Croaker come back?" he inquired, as the two made their way down the path. "He's always right," commented Scraff, who owed the deacon a couple of hundred dollars. "An'," he added, "while we're hangin' strictly to Bible teachin', might it not be a good idea fer us not to let our left hand know what our right hand's doin'?".
