"No," said Marjorie, emphatically, "she's not a bit like us!"
CHAPTER III
PICNIC PLANS
One entire day out of each month Mr. Maynard devoted to the entertainment of his children.
This was a long-established custom, and the children looked forward eagerly to what they called an Ourday.
The day chosen was always a Saturday, and usually the first Saturday of the month, though this was subject to the convenience of the elders.
The children were allowed to choose in turn what the entertainment should be, and if possible their wishes were complied with.
As there had been so much bustle and confusion consequent upon their return from the summer vacation, the September "Ourday" did not occur until the second Saturday.
