However, one day in the early part of November, Mrs. Law asked, “How would you children like to take a little journey with me to-morrow?”
“We’d like it ever so much,” they both exclaimed. “Where is it that we are going, mother?”
“Shall I tell you or will you have a little surprise?”
“What do you say, Jerry? Shall we have it a surprise?” Cassy asked.
Jerry thought it over.
“Is it much of a trip?” he inquired; “for if it is, I don’t think I could keep wanting to know, very long, but if it’s short I could stand it, and I think it would be fun not to know where we were going.”
“I think so, too,” agreed Cassy.
“It isn’t much of a trip,” Mrs. Law told them; “about an hour by train.”
“I could stand that, I reckon,” said Jerry. “Couldn’t you, Cassy?”
“Yes, I think I could. Don’t you wonder where it is, Jerry?”
