That means that they'll need the length of a dozen horses on the road for a twelvemonth to come; for it's no only the building they're launching out on a big scale, and there's lots of other things forbye.

"I don't like 'sploring islands," she sobbed. "Let's go back, Aunt Peggy." Peggy turned sharply. Down the stream floated the overturned canoe, already at a distance which made its recapture hopeless. A little in advance was a white straw hat, a pert bow acting as a sail. Not till that moment had it occurred to Peggy that her troubles were not yet over.
