Both Jennie and Edna agreed with Dorothy that it was a very good plan to spend the money in this way and they at once began to plan what they should buy.
"I think we all might make a trip to Boston in a day or two," said Mrs. Ramsey. "How would you like that? I think we might spend our money to better advantage there."
"That would be simply perfect," cried one and another.
All this had made everyone entirely lose sight of Edna's headache and it was not till Ben came in to say good-bye that anyone remembered it. "Well, Ande," he said, "how's that head? A pretty trick you played on us yesterday."
"I didn't play any trick. It was my head played me a trick."
"Oh, that was the way, was it? Well, how is the tricky head to-day?"
"Why, it is about well, I think."
[124] "But you are not sure. I've known heads to act that way before. Let me see how you look." He turned her around to the light. "A little pale I should say. Did you eat any breakfast?"
"Oh, yes, I ate an egg and some milk-toast."
"Good enough. I reckon you'll do for a while. I say, wasn't it great for Uncle Justus to sneak away from us all in that way? I didn't think it was in the old chap. He wouldn't budge any more than a balky mule. Soon as he heard you were alone and laid up with a headache off he must trot in the other direction."
