"A dollar's rather a lot of money to pay for a lawn party." "Well, they ought to be willing to give something, just for the sake of patriotism," said Amy quietly for there was no better patriot in all of Deepdale than Amy. "Yes, but don't you see, we want to give them their money's worth," Mollie argued excitedly. "Because then we'll feel we've really earned whatever we raise."
"No, it looks lovely," said Grace. "Is the ghost going to keep us away?" asked Mollie. "Never!" cried the Little Captain, vigorously. "Hurray!" shouted Will, waving the boat's flag that he took from the after-socket. They made a turn of the island, and started back up the river for Deepdale, reaching Mollie's dock without incident. Busy days followed, for they were getting ready for the cruise.
"I imagine we'll have all we want to do just to keep up our correspondence with the boys we know," said Betty, knitting steadily. "I think it's wonderful the way practically all of Deepdale has volunteered. It makes you proud to live here." "Yes, and they all seem to be leaving about the same time, too," said Mollie. "Service flags are springing up all over town."
The fifth volume, entitled "The Outdoor Girls in Florida; or, Wintering in the Sunny South," tells of many other adventures the girls had during their winter among the "orange blossoms," but now it was over, and Deepdale, which they had left covered deep with snow, had begun once more to stir with life beneath the gentle touch of spring.
You have but to command us!" and he bowed exaggeratedly. "You may steer if you like," said Betty, graciously, and Frank and Will were both so eager for the coveted privilege that they had to draw lots to settle who should stand the first "trick." For Betty's boat was a beauty, and the envy not only of Will and Frank, but of every other boy in Deepdale.
"But if that's what they're planning I just won't go!" said Amy to herself, after one of those queer confidences she had broken up. "I'd die of loneliness if they sent me away." So much for our four girls. Dear Deepdale the girls always called it Dear Deepdale!
"We were saying that if we didn't get a furlough so we could go back to Deepdale " "For a certain purpose," suggested Will. "For a certain purpose," Frank repeated solemnly "we were afraid we might have to desert." "Yes, that would have been sensible," scoffed Mollie. "Get half a dozen years in prison for yourselves and I'd like to know where your furloughs would be then."
"Thank you, young lady, thank you," said Professor Dempsey, but the words were too low for Betty to catch and she was too far away to see the mist that sprang suddenly to his eyes. Deepdale, the home of the four Outdoor Girls, is a thriving little city with a population of about fifteen thousand people.
"I thought though of course it may not be possible, at all that we might give a lawn fête and charge fifty cents admission, a person. We know pretty nearly everybody in Deepdale, and if only a third of them came we'd raise quite a big sum." "Betty, that's splendid," cried Mollie, clapping her hands excitedly, forgetful of the needles she still held.
After his death, Ralph's daughter prevailed upon her husband to dedicate Deepdale to religious uses, and he inviting the canons, they built the abbey. We are told in Howitt's Forest Minstrel of the wonder caused by the construction of the abbey, and also how in later years the monks became corrupted by prosperity.
