"Oh, yes, it is, Brother Max," said the little fellow, "for it's fun, even though I do know it's one or the other or both of you."
"Oh, Cousin Ronald," exclaimed Elsie, "can't you make some fun at the wedding, as you did when Cousin Betty was married? I don't remember much of it myself, but I've heard other folks tell about it."
"Why not ask Max instead of me?" queried Mr. Lilburn.
"Oh!" cried the little girl, "I'd like to have both of you do it. It's more fun with two than with only one."
"And it might be well to consult cousins Maud and Dick about it," suggested Grandma Elsie. "You can do so to-day, as we are all invited to take lunch at Torriswood."
"Are we? oh, that's nice!" exclaimed Elsie, smiling brightly. "You will let us go, papa, won't you?"
"Yes; I expect to take you there."
"And if we all go Cousin Ronald and Max might make some fun for us there. I guess the Torriswood folks would like it," remarked Ned insinuatingly.
"But might not you grow tired—having so much of it?" asked Max.
"No, indeed!" cried the little fellow. "It's too much fun for anybody to get tired of it."
