"I think I'll take two trunks," said her mistress thoughtfully.
LAURA COMMENCED TO PACK THE TRUNK.

The negress pushed the table out of the way, and, in her flurry, nearly fell over the armchair.
"Golly, such excitement!" she exclaimed. "Wheah yuh goin', Miss Laura?"
"Never mind where I'm going," snapped her mistress. "I haven't any time to waste now talking. I'll tell you later. This is one time, Annie, that you've got to move. Hurry up!"
Giving the maid a push, she hustled her out of the room, and followed closely behind herself. Presently they returned with a smaller trunk.
"Look out fo' yo' dress, Miss Laura," exclaimed the maid.
The trunks were set down, side by side. Laura opened one and commenced to throw the things out, while Annie stood watching her. Soon the actress was down on her knees in front of the trunk, humming "Bon Bon Buddy" packing for dear life, while the maid watched her in amazement.
