The ride through northern New Jersey was not picturesque, and as there was very little to look at from the windows, the four soon returned to their favorite game of guessing what the new home would be like.
"What shall we call it?" asked Leicester; "it ought to have a name."
"And a nice one, too," said Dorothy; "for, do you know, I think we shall live there always."
"Wait 'til you see it," said Lilian; "we may not even want to stay over night."
"We couldn't stay always," said Fairy; "how would we go to school?"
"I suppose we couldn't," said Dorothy; "but after we all get through school, then we can; and it will be lovely to have a home of our own, so let's get a good name for it."
"Why not the Domain?" said Leicester. "That's what we've always called it, and so it sounds natural."
"That isn't enough by itself," said Dorothy. "How do you like the Dorrance Domain?"
They all liked this, and so The Dorrance Domain was decided upon, and they all rushed to tell grandma the name of her new home.
It was noon when the train reached the Ponetcong Station. Here they all bundled out, bag and baggage, children and animals. But as the boat, in which they were to continue their journey did not leave until one o'clock, there was ample time to get some luncheon,—which more than pleased the four hungry Dorrances. Upon inquiry, they were directed to a small country hotel and soon found themselves confronted with many small portions of not over-attractive looking viands.
