Pearl came up the walk with Jimmy by one hand and Sally by the other.
"Where are we going?" asked Sally.
"Yeah," complained Jimmy. "What's the big rush? It was my turn to bat, and we were only sixteen runs behind...."
"We're going to Grandma's," said Joe. "Going up to the farm for a little vacation."
"Can I milk a cow?" asked Jimmy instantly.
"No," said Sally promptly, "I'm going to milk it!"
She kicked Jimmy in the shin and he howled at the top of his voice.
"He's loose all right," said Joe, and Pearl nodded palely. She shook Sally and shoved her toward the car.
"Get into the car, both of you," she ordered. "I've got a few things to get from the house, and I'll be right out."
Joe groaned. "Never mind all that stuff," he said. "We've got to get out of here."
