"Remember, Mab, you are to bring the girls down to my office after Thanksgiving services this morning," he called back as he paused on the threshold of the dining room.
"I'll remember, General," called Mabel, with a military salute.
"Oh, are we going to church this morning?" asked Elfreda quickly.
"Yes. There is to be a short but beautiful service in the church Father and I attend. You will hear some wonderful music, too."
"We went to church here in New York City on Thanksgiving Day, three years ago," said Grace. "Anne, Miriam and I were visiting the Southards. We went to a church whose minister had at one time been an actor."
"Oh, yes, I know that church, and I have met the minister. I interviewed him last fall and then wrote a story about him for the paper. He is a fine man. I wish I knew Everett Southard and his sister."
"You shall know them as soon as they return from England," promised Anne. "I am sure they will be pleased to know you."
"I hope so," returned Mabel. "It was a great honor for Mr. Southard to have such a flattering offer from that great English manager, wasn't it?"
"Did you know that Anne could have gone with them if she had been willing to put off her graduation for another year?" asked Miriam.
"I didn't know it, but I'm not surprised," responded Mabel. "Neither fame nor honor would tempt you to allow your chums to finish the race without you. Isn't that true, Anne?"
