Pebbly Beach `` Now , Mr. Jack , it is a moral impossibility to get all those things into one trunk , and you must n't ask it of me , '' said Mrs. Pecq , in a tone of despair , as she surveyed the heap of treasures she was expected to pack for the boys . `` Never mind the clothes , we only want a boating-suit apiece . Mamma can put a few collars in her trunk for us ; but these necessary things must go , '' answered Jack , adding his target and air-pistol to the pile of bats , fishing-tackle , games , and a choice collection of shabby balls . `` Those are the necessaries and clothes the luxuries , are they ? Why do n't you add a velocipede , wheelbarrow , and printing-press , my dear ? '' asked Mrs. Pecq , while Jill turned up her nose at `` boys ' rubbish . '' `` Wish I could . Dare say we shall want them . Women do n't know what fellows need , and always must put in a lot of stiff shirts and clean handkerchiefs and clothes-brushes and pots of cold cream . We are going to rough it , and do n't want any fuss and feathers , '' said Jack , beginning to pack the precious balls in his rubber boots , and strap them up with the umbrellas , rods , and bats , seeing that there was no hope of a place in the trunk . Here Frank came in with two big books , saying calmly , `` Just slip these in somewhere , we shall need them . '' `` But you are not to study at all , so you wo n't want those great dictionaries , '' cried Jill , busily packing her new travelling-basket with all sorts of little rolls , bags , and boxes . `` They are not dics , but my Encyclopedia . We shall want to know heaps of things , and this tells about everything . With those books , and a microscope and a telescope , you could travel round the world , and learn all you wanted to . Ca n't possibly get on without them , '' said Frank , fondly patting his favorite work . `` My patience ! What queer cattle boys are ! '' exclaimed Mrs. Pecq , while they all laughed . `` It ca n't be done , Mr. Frank ; all the boxes are brim full , and you 'll have to leave those fat books behind , for there 's no place anywhere . ''
`` Then I 'll carry them myself ; '' and XXXXX tucked one under each arm , with a determined air , which settled the matter .
