CHAPTER XXIX
BETTINA PUTS UP FRUIT
"HONK! Honk!" sounded an auto horn at Bettina's door one cool morning, as a crowd of lively voices also summoned her.
"Bettina, O, Bettina! We've come to get you to play tennis with us this morning. You must! You've been neglecting us for Bob and we're jealous."
"Oh, girls, I simply can't! I have just bought quarts and quarts of cherries and currants of a boy who came to the door, and I must take today to put them up!"
"That's easy! Leave 'em till tomorrow!" said Alice cheerfully.
