“Well, it’s just only us and Ethel and Maisie. I can’t ask any more, ’cause Uncle is going to send for us in his car, and he’ll send us home again. Won’t it be fun?”
“Fine! I can do all my lessons to-night, can’t you, Doll?”
“I will, whether I can or not. What time do we start, Grace?”
“One o’clock, sharp. Be ready, won’t you? And don’t wear too good clothes, it’s a real country place.”
“All right, we’ll wear our oldest.”

“Then we can’t have lunch over here to-morrow,” Dotty said, a bit regretfully.
“No matter, there are lots of other Saturdays. I’d rather go nutting while we can.”
“So would I. Now keep still, I’ve got to attack these Geometry problems.”
“Thank goodness, I’ve done mine. But History still stares me in the face.”
