Chapter XIII
The first thing we did when we got home was to hunt up Plunk and Tallow to find out if anything had been heard of Rock, but he was still just as missing as ever—and even more so. “Well,” says Mark, “we got to f-find him, and find him quick. We need him in our business and he needs us in hisn.” “You hain’t goin’ to give him up to Jethro like you said—honest, are you?” “You b-b-bet I am,” says Mark, and there was an end to that.
