“Very well, you funny little girl.” And Miss Stuart complied with Mollie’s request.
Mr. Winthrop Latham promised to call on Miss Stuart and her girls at their hotel the next afternoon at four o’clock.
CHAPTER XXI
EUNICE AND MR. WINTHROP LATHAM
“Ruth, may I go with you to get Eunice?” Mollie Thurston asked next day.
“Certainly, Mollie. Are not the four of us going? We want to bring little Eunice back to the hotel in style. We have had a hard enough time getting hold of her. Her old Indian grandmother would not have let us have the child if it had not been for Naki. The Indian woman seems really to be attached to Ceally and Naki.”
“I am going to ask you a weeny little favor, Ruth. I won’t tell you why I ask you now; but I will tell you as soon as we are in the automobile. Don’t ask Bab to come with us for Eunice,” Mollie entreated.
“Don’t ask Bab? Why, Mollie!” protested Ruth, in surprise. “Bab’s feelings would be dreadfully hurt if I did not ask her.”
