If my dream comes true, the first class Scouts of Pansy troop will be able to go anywhere even to National Headquarters and pass the stiffest examination the Director herself could give, bringing credit to Pansy troop!" "Whew!" exclaimed Ruth. "I sort of miscalculated at camp, didn't I?" The girls laughed at the recollection of the episode of kidnapping Frieda's sister.
Sure enough, there was Frieda's reticule, containing her address book, her pocket dictionary, her map of London, and her money. "Oh, what a bother what a family we are! Fr frieda!" "Hush!" said all those who thought the music fine. "But it's the number they want in Finsbury Circus." "Might I couldn't I " said the suspicious young man, and got very red. "Oh, I would be so grateful."
If you want any help, just call me. I'll go into my own room across the hall and read your mother's letter." She wanted to kiss the child, but Frieda's manner forbade it. The pink frock had alarmed Mrs. Eldred. "Clothes make such a difference to girls," she thought in distress. "How can I help her? She will be proud and shy, and sure to think I am criticising her mother's taste. Dear Marie!"
They were driving down Commonwealth Avenue by this time, and even Frieda's Berlin had never shown her a pleasanter and more decorous street. Karl thought, as she leaned forward, that she was trying to get a better view of the trumpeting angels on the spire of the church they were passing, but he was destined to be undeceived. "I care nothing for America," said Frieda scornfully.
Frieda's just asked me to Stettin, and I shan't be back till after the New Year. Will that do? Or must I fly the country altogether? Really, Meg, what has come over you to make such a fuss?" "Oh, I'm getting an old maid, I suppose.
"You can crack the nuts for the salad if you will, Frieda; and Hannah, if you and Alice will get the dishes out of the way, that would be the most help. Mother wants Inga to sweep the living-room, and we can have a jolly time out here." "You ought to see the kitchen at Frieda's house," said Hannah, as she made a fine suds in the rinsing pan and poured it over the glasses.
I'm discouraged." Miss Phillips rose, and laid her hand upon her shoulder. "Don't worry, dear; it will be all right in the end. But it is a long process. Anyhow, I have kept in close touch with Frieda's public school teachers, and they say that she is attending to her work, and making good headway. She even stays after school for extra instruction.
"Great Scott, Frieda's full-fledged now," said Oswald, "she's a little tart." I can't stand that sort of vulgarity so I did not say another word all the way home. He noticed and said to Mother: "Gretl's mouth has been frozen up from envy." That's all. But it was really disgusting of him and now I know what line to take. Just a moment for a word or two. The whole Christmas Eve has gone to pot.
A rustling of skirts and the sound of whispers was heard in the waiting-room. In answer to the doctor's invitation, the door was slowly opened, and Hannah put her head in at the crack, Frieda's appearing just below it, and Catherine's just above. "Well, here you are!" cried Hannah. "We've been searching the house from attic to cellar for Alice, and finally had an inspiration and came here."
Whereupon she wisely suspended her puzzling and read the letter. "I am sending Frieda with as few new clothes as possible, my dear Edith, relying upon your taste and kindness to fit her out with what she needs. I remember how differently you dressed when you came to Heidelberg, and how odd Hannah's clothes looked to Frieda's friends, and I want Frieda to start without a handicap.
