"That will make a better job of it, anyway," said Bob. "I was figuring
on running the wires on the top side, but if we put them underneath
it will look neater, although it will take longer to do it."
"We might as well do it up brown now that we've got this far," said
Joe, and the others were of the same opinion.
The boys arranged the various pieces of apparatus to their
satisfaction, and then drilled holes through and bolted them securely
to the back. This also took a little more time than merely to screw
them to the face of the panel, but made a more secure and lasting
piece of work.
They were still drilling holes and clamping down nuts when Mrs. Layton
called down to tell them that lunch was ready.
"Gosh! is it lunch time already?" exclaimed Joe. "It seems as though
we had hardly got started yet."
"I guess it is, just the same," said Bob. "Let's wash our hands,
and eat."
"This seems like rubbing it in, though," protested Herb. "We've almost
been living here at your house lately, Bob, and now we're putting your
mother to the trouble of getting lunch for us. I think we ought to go
home and come around later."
"Oh, nonsense," said Bob. "Mother's got everything all ready now, and
she'd feel bad if you didn't stay. Come on up," and he set the example
by making for the stairs.
