It all began because Tess Kenway became suddenly and deeply interested in aeroplanes, airships and all sort of flying things, as Dot, the smallest Corner House girl, declared.
Perhaps one should modify that suddenly ; for Tess had begun to think about flying—as a profession—as long ago as the winter before (and that was really a long time for a little girl of her age) when she had acted as Swiftwing the Hummingbird in the children's play of The Carnation Countess .
At any rate she said to Sammy Pinkney, who was almost their next door neighbor, only he lived scatecornered across Willow Street, that she wished she had an airship.
