"You know it wouldn't be any use!" retorted Dot, her chin in the air. "I'm going with Jim."
"O.K. with me." He continued to smoke in silence.
"Well, buck up!" she advised, patting his shoulder. "Linda may fly home any minute."
"Here comes a plane now!" cried Kitty, jumping up and rushing to the window. "Why, it's our own Moth!"
Everybody dashed to the window, to see Bess Hulbert make her landing, and three or four of the boys slipped into their overcoats to go out and help her put it into the hangar. But Ralph sat stolidly gazing into the fire.
Five minutes later, Miss Hulbert, her cheeks glowing and her eyes flashing with excitement, came into the room.
"Welcome to our famous flyer!" cried Kitty, turning off the radio.
"What's weather to her!" laughed Joe Elliston, admiringly.
"All in the day's work," replied Miss Hulbert.
"Tell us where you've been," urged Kitty.
