"When do we go on the boat?" asked Dot, soon after they had left Oak Hill and were running smoothly along the State highway which the interurban trolley line followed for some distance. Dot remembered the trip on the boat to Aunt Polly's, and she had reason to, as you will recall if you have read of that memorable visit. "We don't go on the boat," answered Mother Blossom.
"HERE, Dot, throw the blankets down on that seat," said Don, pointing to a tiny bench next to the boiler. "I don't see's it's any warmer in here than outdoors," grumbled Dot, rubbing her eyes and yawning again. "Soon will be. I haven't looked at the fire, yet," returned Don, as he tried to open the fire-pot door. "Gee! fire's most out!

She was sure his coming would not make dear Fanny a bit happier, and she really would not have known what to do with him after the married people were gone.
