CHAPTER IX
HOME AGAIN
"If we're going to get home before dark, as I promised, we'd better be moving along," said Uncle Billy. "I expect to find a man with our car outside the grounds."
The three girls arose reluctantly from their seat on the long bench.
"Well, I suppose the very best of days must come to an end," sighed Jerry.
"Why, it hasn't ended yet," said Beth, cheeringly. "We still have the long ride home, and you must sit in front, for I'm sure Mary and I will have our hands full to keep Elizabeth Geraldine from falling out."
"Yes," agreed Mary, "for don't you remember how we lost poor Annabel driving home from the party that day?"
As Uncle Billy had planned, his car stood at the entrance gate, and he soon had the happy little party aboard.
