CHAPTER VI.
RAISING THE WIND.
"Where are you going now?" asked Mrs. Carter of her daughter, as she saw her preparing to go out one afternoon, a few weeks after the engagement.
"Going to raise the wind," was the answer.
"Going to what?" exclaimed Mrs. Carter.
"To raise the wind! Are you deaf?" yelled Lenora.
"Raise the wind!" repeated Mrs. Carter; "what do you mean?"
"Mean what I say," said Lenora; and closing the door after her she left her mother to wonder "what fresh mischief the little torment was at."
But she was only going to make a friendly call on Margaret and Carrie, the latter of whom she had heard was sick.
