Blue and his mother came home at noon to find Doodles in overflowing good spirits.
“Guess what I’ve got!” he cried. “But you couldn’t—ever! Some wedding cards! Whose do you s’pose?”
“Dolly Moon’s!” shouted Blue.
“Oh, you’ve guessed right the first time!” laughed Doodles. “But who to?—that’s what!”
“I do’ know—how should I?”
“Is it Mr. Gaylord?” ventured Mrs. Stickney.
“Aw! why didn’t I think o’ him!” cried Blue, catching the truth from his brother’s face.
The announcement was read and reread, fingered and talked about.
“They ought to have invited us,” commented Blue.
“I presume they didn’t have much of a wedding,” returned the mother.
