“That’s so,” Peanut reflected. “Aw, the stiffs! I hadn’t thought about
’em till just this minute. The stiffs! Think of the fun they missed!”
It was eight o’clock the next morning when the five Scouts and Mr.
Rogers, tanned and lean, with shoes battered and worn thin by the stony
trails, marched up Southmead Main Street from the railroad station,
and found the village just as they had left it.
“It’s all here, as if we’d never been away!” said Rob.
“But we are changed,” said Lou. “We’ve got pictures in our heads, and
memories, that we didn’t have before. We’ve lifted up our eyes unto the
hills!”
“And our feet, too,” said Peanut. “Yes, sir, we are changed. These old
Southmead hills haven’t grown smaller, but our eyes have grown bigger.”
“You’re a psychologist, Peanut,” laughed Mr. Rogers.
“I’m a hungry one, whatever it is,” Peanut replied. “Hope ma has saved
some oatmeal.”
“So do I!”
“So do I!”
“So do I!”
“So do I!”
“We seem to have the same old appetites, anyhow!” laughed Rob, as
the White Mountain hike ended at the post-office, and the six hikers
scattered for their homes.
