| Finally, after it was dark, Theodore and Barrington saw a big, bright light. | |
"Surprise!" Theodore shouted, pulling Barrington out behind him. "Where have you two been?" an angry voice said. It was Constance, the Coast Guard Ship. And she was shining her search light, right at them! "We were hiding," said Barrington with a great big grin. "Wasn't it a great joke?" added Theodore.
"It was certainly not funny," replied Constance. "We were all very worried about you. We thought you were really lost!" "I'm sorry," said Theodore. "I guess we hid a little too long this time, Barrington," said Theodore. | |
| "I guess we did," said Barrington, very quietly. |
