"You may have her," said Mrs. Maynard, smiling, "if you'll return her safely." "Oh, I can't promise that. I'm of rather careless habits, and I might mislay her somewhere." "Well, I'll trust you for this once. Mops, do you want to go to town with Father?" Marjorie's eyes flashed an answer, and Kitty exclaimed: "Without us?" "I grieve to disappoint you, Kitsie," said Mr.
