"Yes, grandpa, I guess it will," answered Peace in all seriousness, "'cause we'll always be thinking of the rest of that check money which we've saved from dec'rating our room so's we could buy fire-crackers and rockets for next Fourth of July." The days which followed the advent of the orphan sisters in the great house were happy ones. Oh, so happy! How can they be described?
"Feeding the birds like the Swedes do on Christmas Day, only we didn't have a pole to hitch our wheat to, and all our wheat was in kernels anyway, and we were told not to go downstairs until Jud and the girls were through dec'rating, so we clum out of the window and I got some hay and grain just as slick! Don't the birds look as if they were enjoying their Christmas dinner?"
That's why Gail wouldn't let us have any, but this year we're going to make up for all we've missed if grandpa gets home in time. We've got dollars and dollars in our bank Allee and me left over from dec'rating our room, and we're going to blow it all up celebrating the Fourth, so's to be patriotic.
As far as the church the two went the way together, but here their paths divided, and they parted, calling back warnings to each other. "Be sure you wait at the church until I get there." "Be sure you hurry, for there isn't much time before dark, and the women have to finish dec'rating tonight." Then how they scampered down the snowy street, regardless of the frailty of the loads they bore!
"Faith's tickled to death when she can find some new way of dec'rating her cakes, and as this is Minnie's birthday cake she'll be awfully pleased, 'cause she got the highest mark in geography of anyone in their room, Hope says."
