“Or on the days when Blue Bonnet doesn’t want to ride, and won’t tell why,” Kitty said.
“On stormy days we could bring our work, and one of us could read aloud,” Sarah suggested; “travels, or something instructive.”
“You’ll be traveling, Sarah Blake, if you spring any more such ideas on us!” Kitty protested. “Now, let’s form, here and now.”
Blue Bonnet was unanimously chosen president; Sarah, treasurer. “That’ll be enough officers,” Kitty insisted. Membership was to be limited to the “We are Seven’s,” but each member would be entitled to invite one friend for the rides.
And then suddenly the new president gave a cry of dismay. “I can’t join—not before next month. I haven’t any money!” she cried.
“But it’s only twenty-five cents!” Kitty said.
“I haven’t five cents!”
“I’ll lend you the money,” Susy said.
“I can’t borrow.”
“You needn’t pay up until next month,” Debby suggested.
