Albright settled herself comfortably in the rocker and adjusted the cushion at her back. The others, who were familiar with the facts, moved closer together and nearer the window, both to facilitate their needles and their tongues. "It was the day after Miss Sterling came, along in September," the story-teller began, "and she was up in her room feeling pretty lonesome you know how it is."
Miss Castlevaine looked at her watch for the twentieth time. "It is a quarter past five!" she frowned. "Where can they be!" "We may as well sit down while we wait," laughed Mrs. Albright. "Wandering round in a circle won't bring them any quicker." She lowered herself plumply beside Miss Sterling. "Now don't you go to worrying!" she said.
It lands you in a snowbank at the bottom, but it's perfectly safe." None of the boys and girls appeared anxious to go. Sahwah jumped up and down with impatience. "Oh, you slowpokes!" she exclaimed, rather crossly. Then she turned to Dick Albright. "Dick," she said, "will you come with me even if the others won't?" Dick shook his head. "It's dangerous," he answered.
Gunnip He's no good! Father says he's little more than a quack and he isn't safe. I wish father could see her; but he can't unless he is called. It is too bad! I believe I'll go straight to Mr. Randolph!" "I don't dare have you," returned Mrs. Albright. "He would, of course, favor the Home, and if Miss Sniffen should hear of it " "Before I say anything I shall make him promise not to tell."
When she first read it she cried, and I didn't know but it would upset her; but I guess it hasn't. He says he is coming to call on her as soon as she is able to receive visitors. She can't imagine who told him she was sick; but it isn't strange he heard of it such news flies." Polly's face was red with guilty blushes; but Mrs. Albright took no heed. She and Miss Crilly hurried away.
All the Salvation Army force has been untiring in its work under very trying conditions, and as a result, I believe it has gained the respect and affection of officers and men more than any similar organization. Extract from letter from Captain Charles W. Albright: Q. M., R. C., France.
"If you don't let me steer just once I'll never speak to you again, Dick Albright," said Sahwah, with flashing eyes. Dick wavered. The chances were that Sahwah would land them safely at the bottom, and he thought it worth the risk of a possible spill to stay in her good graces. "All right, go ahead," he said, "I believe you can do it all right. Be careful when you come to the turn, that's all."
I could see that Miss Twining was all wrought up and as nervous as could be as who wouldn't have been!" "Oh!" gasped Polly. "It's just awful! Did she whip her?" Mrs. Albright shook her head and went on. "Miss Twining said that Amelia Sniffen used to go round in society with her youngest brother, Walter, and that she was dead in love with him.
"We thought you would wonder what had become of us," smiled Leonora. "We did," agreed Mrs. Albright, "and somebody else will be wondering that same thing, if we don't march home about as fast as we can!" Polly's cool and charming sweetness was all that saved the party from Miss Sniffen's very apparent displeasure, the tardy ones agreed.
"Say quick who we'll invite, and then I'll run down and beg permission to go on a picnic unless you'd rather." "Mercy no! I guess that's one reason why I haven't been away; I haven't had life enough to want to unwind red tape." "I shall love it," laughed Polly. "Shall we ask Mrs. Albright? She's nice." "Yes, and how would you like Mrs. Adlerfeld? I think she's pretty lonely." "First-rate!
