“What can be keeping Slim?” Trixie asked.“Maybe he has chores to do,” Uncle Andrew said. “There are many hours ahead of you.”“Where does he live?” Mart asked.“I don’t really know. Back in the woods someplace. Bill Hawkins knows.”“I wish he’d show up,” Trixie said. “Other people may be ahead of us, hunting for those specimens. Mayn’t we please go without Slim?”“I’d feel much better if I thought he was with you. What do you boys think?”“Slim’s a pain in the neck,” Mart said.“But is he a competent guide? Do you think you’d be safe in the cave without him?” Uncle Andrew addressed his question to Brian.“We know the cave pretty well,” Brian answered. “At least, I think we do. I’d really like to try it with Slim another day, though. I just wish he weren’t such an oddball.”“Do you trust him?”“Yes, I guess so. Trixie doesn’t, though, and she has a sort of sixth sense about people.”“Oh, why, why doesn’t Slim show up, if he has to go with us?”
