`` By the way , Dick , how much longer are you going to linger before you scrape up money enough to pay the minister 's fee ? '' `` Just long enough to hammer some common-sense into the heads of two brothers of mine ! '' cried Dick , and threw a book at Tom and a pillow at Sam . `` Now go to bed and do n't forget to wake up early , for we want to be in Rayville by eight o'clock , so we can have all day , if necessary , to locate the biplane . '' And then he chased Tom and Sam out of the bedroom and locked the door on them . Left to himself , Dick walked slowly across the room to where the bureau stood . On the top was a small , framed picture of Dora Stanhope , that had been taken only a few months before .
