"Why not, I should admire to know?" repeated Aunt Sarah, in her jerky way.
"Why, it wouldn't be fair," said the smallest Corner House girl, gravely.
"Huh!" snorted the old lady.
"Tess wouldn't do that to me," Dot said, with assurance.
Agnes chanced to get home next. "What ever do you s'pose is in it, Dottums?" she cried. "There's no name on it except yours and Tess'. And the doctor brought it!"
"Yes. But I know it isn't pills," declared Dot, seriously.
"How do you know that?" laughed Agnes.
"The box is too big," was the prompt reply. "He brings pills in just the cunningest little boxes."
"Maybe it's charlotte russe," suggested Agnes. "They put them in boxes like this at the bakery."
"Oh! do you think so?" gasped Dot, scarcely able to contain herself.
