"We don't know what has become of our bond nor where the man that
wanted it went. We don't even know whether or not it is in the
bank yet."
"Don't begin on the list of things you don't know, George," said
Fred soberly. "It'll take too much time."
"It's a good thing to know that you don't know. Some people that
don't know, don't know that they don't know. Now, I know some
things and among the things I know, I know that I don't know some
things that I think I know."
The Go Ahead boys laughed as they all started toward the cottage
to prepare for dinner.
The following morning Fred and George were the first to dress and
together they made their way once more to the boat-house.
In a room above the slip, in which the graceful little motor-boat
was resting, Sam Hodge was found. He had arisen two hours before
this time and already had eaten his breakfast and was preparing
for the duties of the coming day.
It was because of Sam's own choice that the room he occupied had
been assigned him. And what a strange room it was. Sam had
brought many of his own belongings among which were various
pictures of the human anatomy, both external and internal. A
life-size dummy stood in one corner of the room, the expression
on its face being almost human in its dolefulness. In other parts
of the room were legs, arms, feet and hands in various stages of
completion.
