“Well, anyhow,” continued Jeanette, “Madelon will be back in Boston about the first of August; and Miss Ashton suggested that we go down about that time, or a few days later, so as to have a little time to look about Boston before we sail.”
“‘Sail!’ Doesn’t that sound exciting?”
“But don’t get your hopes of the trip up too high, Nan; that is, the ocean part of it. I understand it is often quite rough; so there is quite a possibility of being sick.”
“Oh, Janie, be an optimist! I read recently that seasickness is nothing more than a condition of the mind. We just won’t be sick.”
“Coming in?” asked Jeanette, as they passed in front of her house, which they reached at that point in their discussion.
“No, not to-night. I’m going home and visit with Mother and Dad. I have hardly seen them alone since our guest arrived.”
“All right. I’ll see you sometime to-morrow, then.”
“Yes; and we’ll make a list of what we are going to need for our travels.”
