"I'm delighted with your decision," Hazel said eagerly. "And, do you know, I believe we are going to have some adventure. I've been talking the matter over with Aunt Hannah and she has told me a lot of very interesting things. But when do you want to go?"
"We haven't discussed that yet," Miss Ladd replied. "I suppose we could go almost any time."
"Let's go at once," proposed Marion Stanlock. "We haven't anything to keep us here and we can come back as soon as-as soon as we find the jam on somebody's fist."
This figure of speech called for an explanation for Hazel's benefit. Then Ruth Hazelton moved that the Camp Fire place itself at Mrs. Hutchins' service to leave for Twin Lakes as soon as she thought best, and this motion was carried unanimously.
"I move that Katherine Crane be appointed a committee of one to notify Mrs. Hutchins of our action and get instructions from her for our next move," said Violet Munday.
"Second the motion," said Azalia Atwood.
"Question!" shouted Harriet Newcomb.
"Those in favor say aye," said Miss Ladd.
A hearty chorus of "ayes" was the response.
"Contrary minded, no."
