seven in the morning
Tired out , they slept without stirring . But they had left a note for the office boy who was due at six o'clock to sweep out the business office . That office boy came in and called the High School pair at a few minutes after six . Dick 's first thought was to instruct the boy to telephone the Prescott and Darrin homes at seven in the morning , sending word that the two boys were safe but busy . Then Dick hastily led the way to a quick-order restaurant near by . Here the boys got through with breakfast as quickly as they could . That done , they bought sandwiches , which they put into their pockets .
