"Did you ever?" said, Rose, when this last was produced. "What a thing it is to be popular! Mrs. Hall? Who's Mrs. Hall?" as Clover unwrapped a tiny carved easel. "She's Cecy's mother," explained Clover. "Wasn't she kind to send me this, Katy? And here's Cecy's photograph in a little frame for you." Never was such a wonderful box. It appeared to have no bottom whatever.
Miss Joanna Carr, in the unmistakable handwriting of Miss Inches. Miss Katherine Carr, care Dr. Carr. That looks like a wedding present, Katy. Miss Elsie Carr; Cecy's hand, I should say. Miss Carr once more, from the conquering hero, judging from the post-mark. Dr. Carr, another newspaper, and hollo! one more for Miss Carr.
"Oh, well," said Katy, hurriedly, for Cecy's lips were beginning to pout, and her fair, pinkish face to redden, as if she were about to cry; "perhaps it was prettier to have them all die; only I thought, for a change, you know! What a lovely word that was . 'Corregidor' what does it mean?" "I don't know," replied Cecy, quite consoled.
Cecy's wedding and wedding-clothes, and Cecy's house-furnishing had been the great excitement of the preceding year in Burnet; and a fresh excitement had come since in the shape of Cecy's baby, now about two months old, and named "Katherine Clover," after her two friends.
Carr's front door behind her with a bang, might have been struck with the singular fact that a distant bang came from her own front door like a sort of echo. But she was not a suspicious woman; and when she went up stairs there were Cecy's clothes neatly folded on a chair, and Cecy herself in bed, fast asleep, only with a little more color than usual in her cheeks.
Aunt Izzie, who was sewing on the other side of the room, looked up from her work. "I don't know," she said, "they're over at Cecy's, or somewhere. They'll be back before long, I guess." Her voice sounded a little odd and mysterious, but Katy didn't notice it. "I thought of such a nice plan yesterday," she went on.
