"I shant be long" cried Gladys "I've only my things to put on, and my boxes to strap."
"Well then I'll just go and see about a fly" replied Lawrence, glancing at his watch as he spoke, "you be ready by the time I get back will you?"
"Oh yes" answered Gladys, and darting back into her bedroom she commenced to put on her hat and jacket while Helen wrote labels for the luggage.
In a few moments Lawrence returned and running upstairs knocked at the bedroom door.
"Oh come in" cried Gladys "I'm nearly ready."
"Do hurry we've not so very much time" replied Lawrence, dragging out a large black trunk and carrying it to the landing where a cab man was waiting to take it down stairs.
"Now, I'm ready" said Gladys, "come on Helen."
"I am coming" replied Helen and picking up her umbrella, she followed the others downstairs.
"Oh I say we must'nt forget Mr. Palsey" cried Lawrence "I can hear him muttering in there now, I expect he is awfully wild."
"I expect he is" laughed Gladys.
