"Jack, dear," spoke Cora softly, and her brother subsided.
"Do come," she urged the twins: "It will be such fun to see me try on my motor togs."
"Wait until we tell you something!" burst out Belle. "We have—"
"A surprise for you," interrupted Bess.
"A brand-new—" started in Belle.
"Motor car," finished Bess triumphantly.
"That is, we're going to get it," added her sister.
"Father has promised it to us;" supplemented Bess.
"Oh, isn't that splendid!" exclaimed Cora. "I'm so glad! This is a surprise. Now we'll all be motor girls."
"Yes," added Belle; "and mother said we could go this afternoon and select some motor things for ourselves at madam's. Isn't that just too sweet of her?"
