"Well," said Uncle Robert, "please go to my room, and if you find a thermometer bring it to me."
Donald soon returned, and when Susie saw what he had in his hand she exclaimed:
"Is that a thermometer? I never saw anything like that at the post office."
"Well, I should think not," said Donald. "This isn't much like the old thing they have up there."
"What does it say?" asked Uncle Robert.
"Sixty-eight degrees above zero," said Frank, taking the thermometer in his hand.

"That isn't cold, is it, uncle?" asked Donald.
"That's just right for the house," said Uncle Robert. "How is it out of doors?"
"Let's take it out and see," said Frank.
