“Well, we were talking of having something very special for the last meeting of the club, after school closes. You see most of the girls go away for the summer, and we shall have to give the club a holiday, too.”
“What nice special thing were you thinking of?”
“We thought if we could have some nice little fairy play and have it out of doors, it would be lovely. We would invite our parents and the teachers and have a real big affair.”
“How perfectly lovely. What is the play?”
“Oh, dear, we haven’t come to that yet. We did think some of having ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ but that has been done so often. We were wishing for something original.”
“Why don’t you get Cousin Ben to help you? He has so many funny things to say about the woodsy creatures.”
“The very one. Why didn’t we think of him before, Agnes? He may be silly about some things, but he would certainly have ideas about that. Where is he, Edna?”
“He has gone in town, and won’t be back till late in the afternoon.”
“Trust you for keeping track of his movements,” said Celia laughing. “I don’t believe Ben yawns but Edna knows it. Well, we will see what he says this evening.”
“Couldn’t you and he come to our house after supper?” asked Agnes.
