[25]“When’s supper, Boss Whitney? I’m hungry enough to eat tacks!” “We’re going to my shack to talk this out. Come along. I want Feather-in-the-Wind and Jerry too. Hoyt, find Mr. Taylor and ask him to report to me at once!” “Come on in, folks,” he said. “Sing Lee’s done himself proud.” Johnny Blossom took off his hat and bowed. Carlstrom looked straight ahead; but when Miss Melling caught sight of Johnny, there was a great to-do..
