"To-morrow evening Moonshiners' engagements please," said Katherine briskly. "Class supper committee meets to see about caterers," cried Babe. "We can't put it off either. Last year's class has engaged Cuyler's already, the pills! That committee takes out me and Nita and Alice Waite." "Rehearsal of the carnival dance in the play," added Babbie promptly, "and Jessica, alias me, has to go."
Of course I pointed out all the objects of interest along the way, and when I mentioned Cuyler's, she insisted upon going in to have ices." "And how many does that make for you to-day?" demanded Rachel severely. "Well," Betty defended herself, "I treated you once, and you treated me once, and then we met Christy Mason, and as you couldn't go back with her I had to.
But it's quite impossible." "Oh dear!" There was nothing perfunctory about Betty's regret. "Couldn't you learn your part this evening? It won't take you any longer to eat at Cuyler's than it would here, and you can come right back." "Oh, it's not the play," said Eleanor. "I could manage that; but Beatrice Egerton is going to be here for dinner."
Thus, too, they missed meeting with Cuyler's command, which they were charged to warn of the threatened danger." "May I ask if this is Ensign Hester?" inquired Christie, turning with an engaging smile toward the leather-clad young stranger. "Bless my soul! Yes. Haven't you met him?
I may be wrong, Betty, but she had a lot to say all the way up from Cuyler's about how glad she was that you were on the committee, how she felt you were the only one for the place and was glad the girls agreed with her, how hard she had talked you up beforehand, and so on, all about her great and momentous efforts in your behalf.
When again allowed to rise it was as a pinioned prisoner, bruised and breathless. With exulting shouts, his captors dragged him into the circle of firelight, and when they saw that he was not one of Cuyler's men, but a newcomer, they were extravagant in their joy. They were also furious against him on account of the escape of the women captives, in which it was supposed he had been instrumental.
"Now, what I want to know is," Travers ran on, elated at the sensation his narrative had made "what I want to know is, where is that girl's mother, or sister, or brother? Have they anything to say? Has any one anything to say? Why, one of Eleanore Cuyler's little fingers is worth more than all the East and West Side put together; and she is to be allowed to run risks like "
At length the camp sites gave proof of having been so recently occupied, that it seemed as though they might sight Cuyler's boats at any time, and Paymaster Bullen, in anticipation of a speedy meeting with the ladies, devoted so much attention to his personal appearance that never had such a dandy as he been seen in the wilderness.
Parsons insisted that you could not see Winsted properly unless you had some Harding girls along, and as the first snow of the season had just fallen, he organized a sleighing party, with Nan and Miss Hale as chaperons. Then Will gave a return dinner at Cuyler's, which took another day, so that a week sped by before Betty's guests could possibly get away from Harding.
