"What's that?" asked Kitty.
"Oh, a lovely motor ride, with two cars, and stay all night, and lots of lovely things like that!"
"Oh, goody!" cried Marjorie. "Are we really going? Mother's been talking about a trip like that!"
"I guess we will," said Mr. Maynard. "We haven't had an Ourday for some time. How would you like to take the opportunity for one while we have Kitty-girl among us?"
"Gorgiferous! Gay!" cried Marjorie, and King threw his cap high in the air and caught it deftly on his head.
"When do we start?"
"As soon as we can get off," said Mr. Maynard, looking at his watch. "Scamper, you kiddies, and get into appropriate rigs."
"Oh, what fun!" cried Marjorie, as they flew upstairs. "What shall we wear, Mothery?"
"You'll find your frocks laid out in your rooms," said Mrs. Maynard, who was prepared for this question. "Then put on your motor coats and take your motor bonnets with you,—but you needn't wear them unless you choose."
The girls danced away, and soon were in full regalia. They went flying downstairs to learn more of the particulars of the trip. Nurse Nannie and Rosy Posy were on the porch waiting, the little one greatly excited at thought of the journey.
