She and Betty were alike in their splendid vigor and vitality. Although the twins were pretty nearly always in trouble, they were really adorable children, whom everybody loved. Amy Blackford, shy, sweet, pretty, completed the quartette.
For some days Sweep and I were absent, fishing. When I returned, I found on my mantelpiece a black-edged letter in an unfamiliar hand. But for the black I should have fancied it was a bill. The writing was what is called "commercial." I opened it and read as follows: "North Side Mills, Blackford, Yorks. 4/8, 18 .
In the first volume the latter was Amy Stonington, but a mystery concerning her had been solved, and a brother who had long sought her, at last found her. He was Henry Blackford, who was concerned in the five hundred dollar bill mystery, and he recognized Amy as his sister in a peculiar way. So Amy Stonington became Amy Blackford, and Mr. and Mrs.
This shot was well aimed, and Bassett blinked, but he felt that he must exercise his parental authority. If he had been culpable in neglecting Blackford he could still take a hand in Marian's affairs. "So I did," he replied. "But I'm going to telegraph Marian to come home. What's the Willings' address?" "Oh, you'll find it on a picture postal card somewhere about.
Blackford came out for a day or so, but he had no good news regarding his missing sister. He had followed several clues unsuccessfully. "But somehow, in spite of all my disappointments, I feel that I will be successful before long," he affirmed. "We hope so," replied Amy, gently, and the others echoed her words.

Looking to see that all was running smoothly, the big notched wheel at the stern revolving swiftly, Will cautiously lowered it.
Sylvia peered down, expecting to see Marian or Blackford, but a stranger was approaching, catching at bushes to facilitate his ascent. Sylvia stepped back, assuming it to be a cottager who had lost his way.

Blackford reports on No. 3: "He is easily influenced; too undependable and too lax in discipline to make a good executive. He has a keen sense of right and wrong, but will take on the color of his surroundings. If led by an undesirable man, he will be a poor asset, and only a fair one even under good influence."
"And we found part of that letter," cried Betty. "We tried to find you, too, but you had disappeared." "Indeed. I know how that happened I took a short cut through the woods." "The chocolate is ready!" called Grace, a little later. "Won't you have some, Mr. Blackford?" "Thank you, I will. Say, but you young ladies are all right. Do you do this sort of thing often?"
