"Dunno. Last time they had minstrels, and the time before, a magicker."
"Legerdemain?"
"Yes; rabbits out of hats, and that sort. Can't we sit here? Engaged?"
"No," and Dotty smiled as she looked toward the other girls for their consent.
"Oh, let us stay," said the other boy, in a wheedling voice. "We'll be awfully good,—so good you won't know us."
"We don't know you, anyway," laughed Alicia, and the first boy responded, "Sure enough. Roof's the introduction, you know, but I'll add that this marvellously handsome companion of mine is one Geordie Knapp, and I'm Ted Hosmer, very much at your service."
"Well," said Alicia, "we're Miss Forbes, Miss Fayre, Miss Rose and Miss
Steele. Shall I tell you which is which, or let you guess?"
"Let us Sherlock it out!" exclaimed Geordie Knapp. "I know you're Miss
Steele because you mentioned yourself last.'"
"Right!" and Dotty clapped her hands in admiration of his quickness.
"Now, which am I?"
"Rosy Posy!" declared Ted Hosmer, little thinking he had guessed correctly, but saying so because of Dotty's pink cheeks.
