I have to go to San Francisco on business and I thought it would be fun for you to go with me. We are going to an island in the South Seas, said his grandfather. How are we going on the trip? asked Benny. He has already been where we want to go so he can tell us all about it. I told you Grandfather was up to something, said Jessie.ĭid you, my dear? said Mr. Grandfather said, Now I am going to tell you about a plan. He said, patting the dog, as everyone else sat down, And this is Watch. Jessie, Violet, Henry, and Benny, this is Lars Larson, said Mr. The four Aldens were soon in the front room. Alden opened the door and shouted, Benny! Get Henry and Jessie and Violet. Shake hands, Lars! And now I’ll call them.
I think you want your grandchildren to have an exciting time, but you don’t want them in any real danger. I like to make a plate out of a flat stone. I understand because I am just like that, too! I like to make a fine fish pole out of a stick, a string, and a bent pin. Yes, but best of all, they like to make something of nothing. Violet comes next and Benny is the youngest. Henry is the oldest, and he and Jessie go to high school. He said, My grandchildren love to see new places. The four Aldens would have been surprised to hear what their grandfather then had to say to the stranger. He took the stranger’s hat and coat and hung them up. Alden took him into the front room and shut the door. Then at last, one day in January, the same man came to call. Henry did watch his grandfather after that. He will tell us if there is anything he wants us to know. Grandfather laughed a lot, too, said Jessie. Then the other day a strange man came to see him.
When I came down the stairs, he stopped talking suddenly. "Last night Grandfather was at the telephone in the hall. And he smiles to himself when he thinks no one is looking. She said, Henry, I think Grandfather is up to something. One winter day Jessie Alden met her brother Henry in the hall.
