Stratemeyer, Edward, 1862-1930

"Or, A Hunt for Fun and Fortune"

The hotel was fairly well filled, but
they secured a large apartment with two double beds.
"There's a nice concert on this evening by a college glee club," said
Sam. "I move we get tickets and go."
"Second the motion," said Tom promptly.
"The motion is put and carried," put in Dick just as promptly. "I trust,
though, the concert don't make us weep."
"They won't know we're there, so perhaps they won't try it on too hard,"
said Sam, and there the students' slang came to an end for the time
being.
The concert was quite to their taste, and they were surprised, when it
was over, to learn that it was after eleven o'clock.
"I hadn't any idea it was so late," exclaimed Dick. "We'd better be
getting back to the hotel, or we won't get our money's worth out of that
room."
"That's right," laughed Tom. "Although, to tell the truth, I'm not very
sleepy."
Several blocks were covered when Sam, who was looking across the
street, uttered a cry of astonishment.
"Look!" he exclaimed.
"At what?" asked both Tom and Dick.
