"Oh, I am so glad. Are you going to take Rubina?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll take Celestine. Ada, my dear, you must stay at home, for Celestine and Rubina are such friends, you know. Mamma, may Ada sit in your room with you? I am afraid she will get lonely without me."
"I shall be very pleased to have her company," Mrs. Dallas replied. "I have noticed that she is an extremely well-behaved child and never meddles with my things when you leave her in my room."
"Is grandpa here? Is the carriage waiting?" Eleanor asked Florence.
"No, not yet. Your grandpa and Rock have gone to get it."
"Oh, then we will have time to change the dolls' dresses. I want Zula to see them looking their best. What can I take Zula, mamma?"
"Are you sure you will see her?"
"Why yes, I suppose she is with these gipsies."
"Perhaps it is not the same company."
