Didn't you notice?" "I did," said Tom. "I thought maybe he was Mr. Fernald, though." "No, you won't see Josh much. He lives around the corner there in The Cottage.
Do you mind?" "Not a bit," declared Amy heartily. "I'm mighty glad you did tell. I wanted to, but Penny wouldn't hear of it. He said it would be sneaky, or something like that.

Troupes of laughing guests seemed always to be going and coming at both houses and there were horses and motor-cars, tennis courts, a golf course, and canoes and launches moored at the edge of the river.
