“There’s nothing to do,” she said, “but to wait.”
“Till when?” asked Lilith.
Polly studied her time-table placidly.
“The next, and last, train is due at 5.30.”
“Oh!” was the dismayed exclamation from Lilith and Dolly.
Polly laughed.
“Never mind,” she said; “we’ll go over to the inn and have dinner—I think it isn’t too late,” as she consulted her watch. “And then—” She halted, thinking. “Oh, I know! We’ll drive down to Leslieboro and go to the movies!”
“Oh, my!” cried Dolly, her eyes big with surprise.
“How will that do?” Polly smiled.
“Splendid!” returned the child.
