"And I only hope we have as much fun!" exclaimed Mollie. "Now, girls, we've talked enough. Let's go for a run. I telephoned to have my car brought here, and——"
"Here it is—quite marvelous!" interrupted Betty, as the large and handsome auto drew up outside, in charge of a man from the garage.
Auto veils, bonnets, goggles and gowns were soon donned, Mollie's chums having come partly prepared for a trip, and soon, with Mollie at the wheel, they were riding down the pleasant main street of Deepdale.
"Hey there! Take us along!" came a voice as they turned off the main thoroughfare into a smaller road that led to the farming country beyond.
"It's Will and Frank," said Grace, as she observed the two boys.
"And there comes Allen," added Amy.
"Now, Betty, maybe you'll talk more," for the Little Captain had been rather silent.
"Shall we take them?" asked Mollie, as she noted Betty's blushing cheeks. "There is plenty of room." Her car would seat seven with comfort.
"Take us along!" pleaded Will. "We'll buy the chocolates, girls."
"Oh, let him come," petitioned Grace, for her candy stock had again run low.
