"Launcelot," screamed both of the girls, delightedly, and opened the gate wide.
CHAPTER XXVI
JUDY PLAYS LADY BOUNTIFUL
"Down, Terry," commanded the Captain, as the little dog went for the mild-eyed cow, but the mild-eyed cow seemed perfectly able to take care of herself, and as she lowered her horns, Terry retired discreetly to a safe place between the Captain's knees, where he wagged an ingratiating tail.
Launcelot and the cow stood framed in the rose-covered gateway.
"Yes, I've bought a cow," explained the big boy, who was dusty but cheerful, "and we are going to have our own butter and milk, and if there is any over, I'll sell it."
"You have my order now," said the Judge, handsomely.
"Thank you, sir," said Launcelot, and Anne cried:
"Oh, Launcelot, make it in little pats stamped with a violet, and label it, 'From the Violet Farm.'"
"That's not a bad idea," commended the Captain, "novelties like that take, and if the butter is good, you may get a market for more than you can make."
