"The owner is going to have them to-night," replied Miss Fletcher, and both the little girls regarded her flushed face with eager curiosity.
"Why, have you asked her?" they cried together.
"Yes."
"Does she know she's going to have the tea-set?"
"No."
"Oh, what fun!" exclaimed Flossie. "I didn't know she was in town."
"Yes, she is in town." Miss Fletcher turned to Hazel and put her hand on the child's shoulder. "We must do everything we can to celebrate taking the flower to the King."
Only then the children noticed that aunt Hazel had her bonnet on.
"Oh," cried the child, bewildered, "are you going to do it?"
Miss Fletcher met her radiant eyes thoughtfully. "If I should take the flower of consecration to the King, Hazel, I know what would be the first errand He would give me to do. I am going to do it now. Go on playing. I shan't be gone long."
