“Margaret and I are going to take turns in pushing Kara’s chair to our dancing grounds. We have already made an engagement with her to that effect. Please remember we are both stronger persons than you, and Kara will arrive far more speedily and safely.”
Tory appreciated that Dorothy was jesting, nevertheless, she bit her lips and frowned.
Kara’s hand reached around and took hold of hers.
“You’ll come along with us, won’t you, Tory? I know I am selfish, but I do hate being separated from you. If there is time before Mrs. Phillips arrives why not attempt another sketch of Lucy? We thought the first sketch you made of her wonderful, even if you were not pleased.”
In the last few days Tory had quietly been following Memory Frean’s advice and allowing the other Girl Scouts to share in the care of Kara. As a consequence they did seem to feel more pleasure in being together. But then for more than one reason Kara was in a better state of mind.
