“Fancy the Senior table without Louise,” when they were interrupted by a knock on the door.
“Come in,” called Polly, and Florence and Louise entered the room.
“I’ve come to thank you two precious infants for that beautiful basket of flowers,” Louise began. “It was mighty thoughtful of you, and I do appreciate it so much.”
Lois and Polly were so confused by the sudden entrance of the very persons they had been talking about that they could only stammer:
“Oh, it wasn’t anything, really!”
“But we’ve something more important than that to say,” Florence announced, and then waited for Louise to break the news.
Polly and Lois exchanged glances.
“It’s another favor,” laughed Louise. “Do you think you could act as ribbon girls for us tomorrow?” Then pretending not to hear the joyful gasps of surprise, she continued: “You’ll have to come down to church tomorrow morning when we rehearse the procession and we’ll show you what to do. Will you do that for us?”
It had come, and though both girls had half expected it, it was a tremendous surprise.
“Oh, Louise, you know we’d love to do it!” cried Lois.
