Truly, Dollyrinda, I'm awful glad to have that picture of you." "So am I of you. Did you get any plate presents?" "No; I didn't expect any. All the family gave me things for my room, you know. Bob sent me a dear little clock." "How nice; Bert sent me a pair of candlesticks, glass ones, they're awfully pretty." "Isn't it funny we don't know each other's brothers." "We will soon, though.
"But, oh, Dollyrinda," exclaimed Dotty, impulsively, "if my cake should take the prize ahead of yours, I'd cry my eyes out, and if your cake took the prize ahead of mine, I'd never speak to you again!" Dolly laughed.
"Oh, Dollyrinda," she whispered as they stood in the hall, "do you s'pose your mother'll EVER say yes?" "I don't believe so," replied Dolly mournfully. "But, oh, Dot, how I do want to go! Seems 'sif I never wanted anything so much in all my life!" "You don't want to go a bit more than I want to have you. Why, Dollops, I shan't go, if you don't." "Oh, yes, you will, Dotty. You must.
Appalled by the awfulness of the situation, Dolly burst into tears, and though not as violent as Dotty's, her sobs were deep and racking ones. "Oh, don't, Dollyrinda, don't cry so! I'll never forgive myself for losing you in these awful woods!" "You didn't lose me, any more than I lost you. We both lost each other; I mean I guess I mean we're both lost!" and Dolly's tears fell afresh.
"Then you must ask me with due politeness and proper courtesy. I can't report to a lot of cackling geese! You're worse than parrots!" "Please, dear, sweet Dollyrinda, what DID the lady say?" begged Dotty, in wheedling tones. "Ah, yes, tell us," and Alicia took the cue. "Angel child! Beautiful blonde Towhead! what, oh, vouchsafe to deign to tell us, WHAT did she say?"
You're going to have a cup of hot broth and a good rest and perhaps a nap, and you'll wake up just as bright and happy as ever." And Mrs. Rose's treatment was just what Dolly needed. She slept an hour or more and then awoke to find Dotty's black eyes gazing into her own. "You beautiful, splendid Dollyrinda!" she exclaimed.
They planned it last night and it just happened that Geordie and I heard them. Marly coaxed her, and Alicia hesitated and then consented. She said her mother eloped, and she would do the same. They were going to have a rope ladder." "Oh, Dolly! Oh, Uncle Jeff! Oh, Dollyrinda!" "Well, Alicia, suppose you stop yelling, oh, and tell me about this interesting performance," Mr. Forbes spoke, severely.
Now when you get to Crosstrees you'll be so delighted and interested, that you won't think of home and Mother for two weeks, except to write a postcard now and then." "You won't hardly have time for that!" cried Dotty, "there's so much to do from morning till night, and that makes you so tired that you sleep from night till morning. Oh, Dollyrinda, we will have the most gorgeousest times ever!"
"'I took a walk around the block, to get some exercise," Dotty chanted, imitating a popular song which was a favourite with the boys. "Exercise! I've had enough to last me the rest of the summer! Honest, Dot, I've got to rest a few minutes; I can't walk another step." "Dollyrinda Fayre, you do give out the easiest of anybody I ever saw! Sit down on that stone and rest, do.
"Now we must put a piece of gauze or net behind these eye-holes," said Dotty, out of her full experience, "for if we don't, they'd know your eyes and mine in a minute, Dollyrinda." "Then how can we see where we're going?" "Oh, we can see through the thin stuff easily enough, but our eyes don't show plainly to other people."
