Dolly's gift was a pretty writing tablet, well furnished, and upon which, she declared, she should write a long letter home telling of the treasure hunt and its success.

"Now for a real camp-fire," said Mr.
There were all the children round it, some on their knees, some jumping; and voices were crying on all sides, "O jolly, jolly!" "I'll get some potatoes!" "Oh, you must have some sticks first, and make some ashes." "There's no flame not a bit!" "Get out of the way, can't you? I'll make a hot place." "We'll each have our own oven, and roast our own potatoes!"
"'If one tried the restaurant first ? Rangon suggested, smiling again. "'By all means, said I stuffily, though I remembered having the case after we'd left the restaurant.

Peter bade her good-by in his most polite manner and then scampered as fast as he could go, lipperty-lipperty-lip, to the dear Old Briar-patch.

It interested him excessively, to an extent which occasioned a good deal of trouble. "Dear Father: I have read nearly the whole of the 'Earthly Paradise' since I came here. It is an awfully jolly book. If you do not know please ask the Archdeacon when you see him. I've come to the conclusion that some of it is very well written."

But the most wonderful of all to Trot was a square beast with a winning smile, that squatted in a corner of the room and wagged his square head at everyone in quite a jolly way.
Her grandfather? could it be possible that he must be turned out of his old home in his old age? could it be possible? Mr. Jolly seemed to think it might be, and her grandfather seemed to think it must. Leave the old house! But where would he go? Son or daughter he had none left; resources he could have none, or this need not happen.
