When morning arrived they were on the job again , as Steve termed it ; that is , taking their waking-up exercises in front of the tent by doing a number of gymnastic feats , and then after dressing proceeding with breakfast . `` So far we 've been favored with good weather , '' remarked Steve , as they sat on the logs , and enjoyed the meal thus prepared . `` Not a drop of rain , and while fairly hot nothing unseasonable , to make us sizzle along toward three in the afternoon . But seems to me there 's a change due before long . I do n't quite like the looks of the sun this morning ; and it came up glowing red in the bargain . '' `` So it did , Steve , '' assented Toby , `` and they say that 's a good sign of stormy weather .
