Neale, too, was glad. The four Corner House girls got around him, joined hands, and danced a dance of rejoicing in the big front hall.
"And now you need not be afraid of what's going to happen to you all the time," said Ruth, warmly.
"Oh, Neale! you'll tell us all about what happened to you in the circus, won't you, now?" begged Agnes.
"Will you please show me how to do cartwheels, Neale?" asked Tess, gravely. "I've always admired seeing boys do them."
But Dot capped the climax—as usual. "Neale," she said, with serious mien a day or two after, "if that circus comes to town this summer, will you show us how you played Little Daniel in the Lions' Den? I should think that would be real int'resting—and awfully religious!"
