“What are you going to do tomorrow?” asked Captain Flint a little later. “It’s your last day, isn’t it?”
“What about fishing?” said Peggy. “We haven’t fished for ages. You can come too if you like.”
“Yes,” said Nancy. “Your boat is much better for fishing than ours are. Besides, you know the best places.”
“Do come,” said John.
“Please,” said Susan.
“Well, if there’s not too much wind, we might make a day of it. I’ll come, but I can’t start too early. And then we’ll plan something tremendous for next year.”
“I’m not going fishing tomorrow,” said Able-seaman Titty.
“Why not?” said Susan.
“I’m going treasure-hunting.”
“Where?”
“Cormorant Island. I’m sure it’s still there. The sea chest, I mean.”
“Waste of time, Able-seaman,” said Captain Flint.
“I know it’s there,” said Titty. “And Roger can come too if he likes.”
“Then there’ll be two expeditions tomorrow,” said Captain Flint. “One treasure-hunting, and one whaling. What do you think about it, Roger?”
“I’m going with Titty,” said Roger. And so it was settled, though Susan did say, “They can’t go alone unless it’s a calm day.”
