“It is as much as half a mile to the place,” added Jenny; “and I am afraid you will get very tired.”
“I think I can stand it as well as the others.”
“We are used to running in the woods, and you are a city girl, you know.”
“I want to go very much.”
“We don’t want you to go,” said Katy Green, bluntly.
“That’s very rude of you to say so,” replied Josephine. “I don’t see why I shouldn’t go, if I wish.”
“You can go, if you will only wait upon yourself,” said Jenny.
“Wait upon myself? How very rude that is! I’m sure I’ve only asked you to do one or two little favors for me, and you call that waiting upon me.”
“Don’t be unkind to her, girls,” said Flora.
“She doesn’t call it waiting upon me when she does a little favor for me. I am sure I am willing to do as much for you as you do for me.”
