As each little girl came up the steps carrying a heap of neatly finished magazines, the two ladies stopped talking and turned to watch the girls deposit the magazines on the table in the hallway.
“What were you saying about Happy Hills, mother?” asked Ruth.
“Aunt Selina was telling me all about the three beautiful hills at the back of the estate. She said what pretty kodak pictures they would make if we wanted to use them for the magazine, and I said it might be a good plan to write up a short story about our plan for next month’s issue.”
“Oh, yes, that would be a fine start for the farm,” cried Ruth.
“And we think that we would need all of the time we can get to make sure of next summer’s success,” added Aunt Selina.
“Aunt Selina, how many poor children do you think we can keep at Happy Hills?” asked Ruth.
“We could not tell without having expert help to show how many camps can be built there,” said Aunt Selina.
“Oh, are you going to build camps, Aunt Selina?” asked Norma.
“I thought the children were going to live in the woods,” said Dot.
“But you didn’t expect them to sleep on the ground and dress behind the bushes, did you?” said May.
