Betty.
"Well, almost. Of course I only had a glimpse of them, but I have good
cause to remember them."
"Don't say anything now, then," suggested Betty. "We will wait and see
what they say. Later we may be able to make sure."
"All right," Grace agreed, looking intently at the two young men. They
seemed nice enough, and were smiling in a pleasant, frank manner at
the outdoor girls and Aunt Kate. The two boats were now slowly
drifting side by side on Rainbow Lake, the motors of both stilled.
"I beg your pardon," said the darker complexioned of the two men, "my
name is Stone, and this is my friend, Mr. Kennedy. We are on the
regatta committee and we'd like to get as many entries for the water
pageant as we can. Is your boat entered yet?"
He gazed from one girl to another, as though to ascertain who was in
command of the newly arrived craft, which seemed to have attracted
considerable attention, for a number of other boats were centering
about her.
"We have just arrived," spoke Betty in her capacity as captain. "We
are cruising about, and we haven't heard of any regatta or pageant,
except a rumor that one was to be held some time this summer.
