Ruth. (irritated) You girls make me tired. Can’t you tell me what happened?
Kitty. Hope you tell.
Hope. Well Aunt Jane went down to the lake with Miss Morgan as she said she would. Then she took a notion to walk around it. That’s scene two. Scene three she saw a water lily near the edge that she wanted, and she reached for it and slipped in. The water was only a foot deep but of course she got wringing wet. She set up a S. O. S. call or whatever the latest wireless is and Betty and Lucille rushed to the rescue. First aid to the injured you know.
Hilda. Of course poor Aunt Jane was soaking wet, and then the question was what to do?
Ruth. Couldn’t you girls have gone to the village to get dry clothing from her suit case?
Kitty. Nix. For she had let the chauffeur go to Cherry Valley to see his mother.
Hope. Aunt Jane wanted a blanket wrapper, for of course Miss Morgan’s clothes wouldn’t fit her.
Hilda. Just imagine how hilarious it would be to see Aunty sitting around all day in a blanket wrapper and worsted slippers.
Hope. But Betty came to the rescue. She actually coaxed Aunt Jane to accept the loan of a middy blouse and skirt to wear for the rest of the day while her clothes dried in the sun.
Ruth. Miss Pickett in a middy blouse. Where’s my Kodak?
