You pick all you can and then after we get home, I'll pack them in a box and Daddah will take them down to the station this evening and put them on the New York train." So of course, after that promise, Mary Jane picked more and more till she had a fine big bunch of violets and buttercups. But picking violets is tiresome work that is, it is tiresome if you do it for long.
Mary Jane was so excited she could hardly go to sleep that night and Mrs. Merrill laughingly said that her dreams would likely be a circus of ants and robins. But she must have been mistaken, because little girls who wake up as bright and early as Mary Jane did that next day, don't waste their nights a-dreaming. "Daddah!" she called to her father in a loud whisper, "are you waked up? Daddah!"
"But Miss Heath isn't the one this is for," said Mary Jane quickly, "not unless mother says so." "Who do you want to give it to, pet?" asked Mrs. Merrill who happened to be near enough to hear what was said, "your father?" "No," said Mary Jane, decidedly, "Daddah will come out and get some to-morrow, maybe. I want to send mine on the train will they take flowers on the train?"
I'm sure you will be glad when father comes home." So Mary Jane put on the blue dress, but she wasn't very happy about it; she felt sure, certain all the time that she was dressing, that Daddah would be disappointed when he saw her. And she began to wonder if the secret was so very wonderful after all; it didn't sound so wonderful if an old dress went with it in the afternoon!
Merrill, "and I'd say that perhaps I'd go along if I was asked." "Oh, would you, Daddah?" cried Alice. "That would be jolly. Then it's all settled we're going!" "Talk about deciding in a hurry," teased Mrs. Merrill; "when do we start?" "I have some business that I've needed to do for a week. Suppose we all take the early limited that leaves at eight?
