“There’s an aeroplane!” she cried.
They followed her gaze and saw the aircraft coming toward them at a rapid rate.
As they looked, they saw that it was beginning to slacken speed and at the same time was coming closer to earth.
“Looks as though it were going to land somewhere about here,” remarked Jack. “Perhaps it’s having trouble.”
As it drew closer they could see that there were two people in it.
“And one of them’s a woman!” cried Walter, as he noted the fluttering of a skirt.
“She’s waving at us!” exclaimed Belle excitedly. Then her voice rose to a scream.
“It’s Cora! It’s Cora!”
“Cora!” shrieked Bess.
“Cora!” echoed Aunt Betty.
