"My darling little girl," he said, "I'm so glad you're back with us for our Ourdays, and you shall ride just where you want to."
"Let her take my place," said Kitty, kindly. "I'd just as lieve go in the other car, and I don't wonder Midget feels like that."
So it was settled that Kitty should ride with the Bryants next day, and then the three children were sent to bed, while the elders stayed up a few hours later.
The girls had a large room, with two beds, and with a delightful balcony, on which a long French window opened.
"Isn't it wonderful?" said Marjorie, softly, as she stepped over the sill, and stood in the soft moonlight, looking down on the hotel flower gardens.
"Yes, indeedy," agreed Kitty; "I say, Mops, I'd like to jump down, flip! into that geranium bed!"
"Oh, Kitty, what a goose you are! Don't do such a thing!"
"I'm not going to. I only said I'd like to; and I'd play it was a sea,—a geranium sea, and I'd swim around in it."
"Kit, you're crazy! Come on to bed, before you do anything foolish."
"I'm not going to do it, really, Mops! but I like to imagine it. I'd waft myself off of this balcony, and waft down to the scarlet of the geraniums and fall in."
