"Very generous indeed."
"But O, didn't you miss Rob?"
Kathie had to tell them about Uncle Robert's visit. "And then, you know, I wasn't home last year"—in answer to their question.
"True. There was a gay time here at Cedarwood. When Rob sets out, he is about as funny as any boy I know. Don't you suppose he is just aching to be at home?"
"I expect to get off next year," said Dick, "to Yale. But I shall be dreadfully homesick at first."
"So should I," responded Charlie; "but Rob is such a jolly, happy-go-lucky fellow."
"Has he been in any scrapes yet, Miss Kathie?"
"Not that I have heard," said Kathie, laughing.
A group around the piano were clamoring for Kathie to play. She had promised them some carols.
