Miss Macdonald and her servant Neil went up to the house the garden sloped down to the part of the shore where they had landed leaving Betty Burke sitting on the boxes in her flowered gown and duffle cloak. Miss Macdonald had good reason to congratulate herself on her prudence when she found Lady Margaret's drawing-room full of guests. Among these was Mrs.
"And what is more," burst from the indignant Bluff, unable to hold back any longer, "we insist on your searching all our duffle to see whether we've got that cup hidden away." "Yes," added Jerry, "I'm sure none of us would feel right if you didn't examine every bit of our possessions.
"The fire doesn't seem to jump across the river," observed Will. "No; and I don't think it will, unless the wind changes quickly," said Frank. "But it seems bound to get to our camp inside of an hour or two. What d'ye suppose they'll do with all the duffle?" inquired Bluff uneasily. "I'm not worried about that. Mr.

And it's quite a bother to have to take the fish out every time just before I let Lizzie go into the water. I could have two tanks, I suppose, doing part of my act in one with the goldfish, and then changing to another with the seal. But I have enough duffle to cart about as it is.
