"What did Arabella say?" asked Betty Chase.
"I thought she said she wanted the shawl to put over her ears!"
"She did say that," declared Patricia, "and won't she look fine; besides, how could she get them on when twenty of us are packed into that sleigh?"
"Oh, I'll help her with them," cried Betty Chase, with a laugh.
"So will I," chimed in Valerie.
"Here she comes now. Well, as I live, she has brought two shawls," said Betty.
"One for each ear," said Valerie.
Laughing and chattering they ran down the path, and soon were comfortably seated, very close to be sure, but very warm.
Arabella said that the two shawls were to wear later if it became colder, whereat, Betty begged her to sit upon them.
"You take up room enough for three with a big shawl under each arm," said Betty. "Stand up and I'll fold them so you can sit on them."
