Anybody got a watch ? '' Nobody had , but all agreed they would n't stay out very long , so on they went , propelled by King 's long , strong strokes down toward Blossom Banks .

Molly and Marjorie sat together in the stern , and Kitty lay curled up in the bow , with her hands behind her head , dreamily gazing into the morning sky . `` Do you remember , Molly , '' said Midget , `` how we went out with Carter one day , and he scolded us so because we bobbed about and paddled our hands in the water ? '' `` Yes , I remember , '' and Molly laughed at the recollection .
