"This is the hydro-aeroplane that we flew in, Ethel Brown and I."
"These are different buildings on the grounds—I recognize them. This is a splendid present," complimented Katharine.
"It was heaps of fun making it. Did you notice this picture of Mother's and Grandfather's class on Recognition Day? See, there's Mother herself. She happened to be in the right spot when the photographer snapped."
"How lucky for you! It's perfect. I know Mrs. Emerson will be awfully pleased."
"We hope she will. Are you infants ready?" and Roger swung the parcels on to his back and opened the door for the girls.
"We're going to stop at Dorothy's, aren't we?" asked Ethel Blue.
"Certainly we are. We want to see her presents and to give Elisabeth hers and to say 'Merry Christmas' to Aunt Louise and Miss Merriam."
"You seem very fond of Miss Merriam," said Katharine to Ethel Brown as they turned the corner into Church Street.
"We are. She's splendid. She knows just what to do for Elisabeth and she's lovely any way."
"You act as if she belonged to the family."
