Now and Forever Page #3

Oh, 40,000, then.

Five years ago when you

removed me from the family,

you called me

a blackguard and a cad.

Forty thousand will just

pay for the "blackguard. "

The "cad" will cost you

35,000 more.

Make up your mind, and don't

take too long about it.

You see, Mr. Cosgrove,

the gypsy chief...

asked me if you wouldn't like to

have his gypsies camp on your lawn.

It's too bad, Mr. Cosgrove,

that the noise disturbed you.

But you see, sometmes they

have the most marvelous partes,

and hundreds of gypsies

come from Spain and every place.

They have such a good tme

that they forget...

Hello.

Uh, I'm looking for an old

friend of mine, a Mr. Cosgrove.

- Oh, do you know him?

- Oh, very well.

Uh, may I sit down there

with you?

Please do.

Having any fun today? I've been

sailing my boat around the island.

I wanted to see where

the pirates camped last night.

Uh, do you keep your sailboat padlocked

to the dock so the pirates can't steal it?

No. Uncle George

keeps it padlocked...

so I won't sail it alone.

He's afraid.

You see, I didn't really

sail around the island,

not honor bright.

Honor bright? You can only say that

when it's honest-to-goodness true.

Oh. Where did you

learn that?

From my mother. You see,

pirates are true, all right,

but not honor-bright true.

Oh, of course.

What's your name?

Jerry.

Mine is Pennie Day.

Mmm. I had an idea it might

be. Are you a good sailor?

I could be. Honor bright.

But he won't let me.

Why not? Uncle George just doesn't

believe in people having fun.

Mmm. I've noticed that.

Let's go sailing.

Oh, I'd love it!

But...

I learned a magic trick

about padlocks in India.

Really? Honor bright?

Honor bright.

Hocus-pocus.

Dominocus.

Ha ha ha!

Uh, should we take

Mr. Cosgrove along?

Of course. You'll come,

won't you, Mr. Cosgrove?

Sit right there,

Mr. Cosgrove.

Whoa, oh! Be careful,

Mr. Cosgrove! There.

What is it?

So this is their island, huh?

Yes. And we'll have to

be very careful.

They may be hiding in the woods. Ooh.

Where did you see them

hide the treasure?

Right over there.

Right there?

I forgot to tell you.

Last night the pirates came

and took the treasure away.

Hmm. You're Pennie Day,

all right.

Well, there may be some left.

Come on, let's both dig.

You dig there. See?

You dig there.

Look!

Look what I found!

Chinese money!

The treasure!

Sure enough!

Look!

Why, a shilling.

We'd better hurry.

The enemy's coming.

It's been a wonderful

adventure.

The best I've had

in a long time too.

We'll have to surrender now. I

wish we'd brought some guns along.

Good-bye, Jerry.

Good-bye, Pennie.

What have you got

in your hand?
