"Yes," said Mrs. Mullarkey, "every last one. Now, Celia Jane, stop your crying and tell us what you will do."
"I'll sweep the kitchen every day and do dishes without grumbling," Celia Jane sniffled, while Danny was off upstairs at a run.
"That will remind you to be more careful," said Mrs. Mullarkey, "and remember you are to work willingly, without any grumbling."
"I will, Mother," sobbed the girl.
"And now," Jerry heard his father saying, "it is time for us to be going back to the circus and of course Helen wants Gary with her now. We'll keep him with us for three weeks and then, when we play Hampton, I'll bring him back here for the rest of the summer. When our season closes we'll come for him and take him to Carroll."
"And we hope you will decide to move there, too, Mrs. Mullarkey," said Mrs. Bowe.
"I will if Mr. Bowe thinks it will be best for the children," she replied.
"I do think it so," said Whiteface. "To-morrow I'll mail you a check for one hundred dollars and the rest of the thousand I'll send to you as you want it. We'll arrange that when I bring Gary back. I have nothing with me now, as I haven't any pocket in these clothes."
"I have," said Mrs. Bowe and took several bills from her bag and pressed them into Mrs. Mullarkey's hands.
"I can't thank you," said Mother 'Larkey. "I don't know how."
