"Very odd indeed," remarked Dorry, gravely. The four looked at one another solemnly and questioningly, and then it was impossible to help it all four laughed. "By Jove!" cried Lionel, between his paroxysms, "I do believe we have all come up here on the same errand!" "I dare say we have," remarked Dorry; "there were some extremely queer echoes that came down to us from above."
Now, as she told the others, Pikery was very sick indeed. He must have some medicine, just like Philly. "Give him some water," suggested Dorry. "No," said John, decidedly, "it must be black and out of a bottle, or it won't do any good." After thinking a moment, she trotted quietly across the passage into Aunt Izzie's room.
Every little while I looked at Skinny and he was chopping away at one sapling for dear life. He had it all full of nicks and every nick had a place all to itself. "That isn't chopping, it's what you call woodcarving," Dorry Benton said. "He's a good butcher, anyway," Artie said.
Clover's arguments were unanswerable, and every one gradually gave in to the plan which she had so much at heart. Dorry got a fortnight's holiday, beginning on the 15th of June; so the twentieth was fixed as the day for the double wedding, and the preparations went merrily on.

Clover called her share "Raspberry Shrub," Dorry christened his "Ginger Pop," while Cecy, who was romantic, took her three sips under the name of "Hydomel," which she explained was something nice, made, she believed, of beeswax. The last drop gone, and the last bit of cinnamon crunched, the company came to order again, for the purpose of hearing Philly repeat his one piece,
