Mrs. Dallas laughed and said she must tell the doctor and Miss Reese that.
"Do you think Aunt Nellie will want Florence to come home after Easter?"
"No, I think she will be very glad to have her remain where she can be out of doors more than she could be in the city."
"And can she stay all summer?"
"Yes, if her mother doesn't find that she cannot be parted so long from her. You know you and I wanted to see each other very much after a two months' separation."
"Yes, but Aunt Nellie has such a lot of other children and you had only me."
"Yes, but Florence has but one mamma, you know."
"I hadn't thought of that," Eleanor returned. "Well, Florence can go home and stay a week and then come back again. Can't she do that?"
"Perhaps so."
Just then Florence came in with her doll Rubina in her arms. "Hurry up, Dimple," she said. "Get your hat; your grandpa is going to take us out to drive. The gipsies have come and are camping in the same place Bubbles says."
