Colonel Gresham gave you the roses just smell them!" He lifted the box to her face. "Oh!" breathed Miss Lily in delight. "The china dish is David's present, and these cards are from Mrs. Albright and Mrs. Bonnyman and Miss Crilly. This beautiful waist that's from Patricia, and the box of handkerchiefs from her mother, and the booklet from Miss Castlevaine, and the photograph from Miss Major.
Well, Bonnyman was attending to the working of the crane, and directing the lowering of a stone into its place, when he inadvertently laid his left hand on a part of the machinery where it was brought into contact with the chain, which passed over his forefinger, and cut it so nearly off that it was left hanging by a mere shred of skin.
Wasn't the ride lovely?" Polly squeezed her friend's arm. "Say, did you know, at the very last minute Miss Sniffen sent over word that Mrs. Bonnyman couldn't go? She had the toothache, and so mother came in her place! Oh, I did wish you were in our car! I wanted to say, 'Isn't that beautiful? and 'Just look at this!" "You could talk to David," laughed Miss Sterling. "Oh, yes, I did some!

I believe I could eat and relish them three times a day." "You couldn't! Just wait till you've had 'em fifty-two times a year, five years running as I have!" Mrs. Crump's lips made a straight line. "Mrs. Crump has kept tabs on her waffles," giggled Miss Crilly. "How many does this morning make five hundred and ?" "Sh!" nudged Mrs. Bonnyman at Miss Crilly's elbow.
Polly dropped beside her friend. "No, Mrs. Bonnyman, don't get a chair for me! I like this! Besides, I'm not going to stay. It's too lovely outside to be cooped up in the house. Why can't we all go to walk?" "Oh, that's the ticket!" Miss Crilly jumped up. "I'll have to change my togs first will you wait for me?" Polly nodded and smiled, as Miss Crilly skipped off. "Will you all go?"
I thought I was going to have the time of my life!" She laughed deprecatingly. "It is the time of our lives the worst time!" snapped Miss Major. "Well folks can get along some way," said Miss Sterling; "but Heaven save the sick ones!" "Oh, here you are!" cried Polly from the doorway, just beyond Mrs. Bonnyman. "Been looking for me?" Miss Sterling smiled, "Everywhere!"
It was quite an event, something to talk about for days afterwards, when poor John Bonnyman, one of the masons, lost a finger. The balance crane was the cause of this accident. We may remark, in passing, that this balance crane was a very peculiar and clever contrivance, which deserves a little notice.
Mrs. Randolph caught sight of Miss Twining's face, and it turned her from the distant glory. She told Mrs. Albright afterwards that she looked as if it were given her to see what was not visible to the others a glimpse of heaven itself. Mrs. Bonnyman broke the spell. "Let's go back before it fades," she suggested. And the majority followed her into the firelit living-room.
"What do we need a treasurer for?" "Oh, they always have one!" insisted Polly. "Maybe the money'll come." "Sure! Somebody might donate a million dollars to us and what should we do without anybody to take care of it!" Miss Crilly chuckled happily. The work of organization being disposed of, Mrs. Bonnyman asked what was to be done next. Polly didn't know.
