“I am sure I can’t.”
“What are you going to do—stay here all night?”
“Couldn’t you draw me back on the wagon? There is room enough for me on top of the leaves.”
The girls made no reply; but both of them laughed as though something very funny had happened.
“What are you laughing at?”
“Do you think we are going to drag a great girl like you back to the grounds? I guess not,” replied Katy.
“I should think you might.”
“We don’t like you well enough to do that,” said Katy; and then both of the girls laughed again.
“You needn’t laugh at me,” said Josephine, beginning to cry.
“O, you needn’t cry; we didn’t hurt you any. But come along, if you are coming. We can’t wait here any longer.”
