"But if they are in pay for the strawberry picking, you won't take them? Is that it?" "I s'pose I will have to take them after Gail's lecture," Peace sighed dismally, "but I'll never put 'em on never!" Delighted with her candor and rebel spirit, he said, after a brief pause, "Well, now, I mean them for a Christmas present, Peace, and I'd like mighty well for you to wear them.
"She's as nice as possible, but everybody could see how fearfully they wouldn't fit everybody, that is, but the parties concerned. Gail's one of those people who are always dashing about aimlessly, doing something because she didn't do it yesterday. And John's the kind of a man well, you know the kind he is: dependable, authoritative, angel-kind, and deadly clever.
The five sisters ran to meet her, and into Gail's hand she thrust a crumpled, green scrap. "Ten dollars!" gasped the astonished girl, examining the dingy bill with excited curiosity. "Someone must have lost it " "And pinned it to the gatepost so's we could find it?" demanded Peace. "Well, I guess not! Bet that tramp left it. He surely must be a prince. What shall you do with it, Gail?"
She wore the multi-layer cold-weather garments issued for Antarctica, but somehow she did not look grotesque in them. Now her expression was faintly vexed. The third person in the dome was Captain Estelle Moggs, W. A. C., in charge of Gail's journey and the public-relations angle generally. "I just chart the courses of meteors," repeated Soames. "That's all. There is nothing else to it."
"We should not have called at this outrageous hour, but Frances is to return to the city this afternoon, and she insisted upon coming to see about the children before she left." "Oh!" The bright light died from Gail's eyes, and the girls looked uncomfortable. So it was an errand after all and not a friendly call which brought them. "What is the matter with the children? Has Peace "
For two weeks there were lawn fetes at Navy Bungalow, long auto trips through the beautiful surrounding country and the delightfully cosy family gatherings which all so loved. After Gail's graduation Mrs. Howland returned bringing that golden- haired lassie with her, Snap and Constance coming too.
"I'll tell you let's each take a basket and see which can get there first. Then we'll meet at the church and go to the woods from there." "All right," agreed Cherry. "You take the Judge's and I'll take the Doctor's." So they snatched up their burdens and hurried merrily away, much to gentle Gail's relief, for she found it hard to disappoint these small sisters in their gala days.
Two weeks before Tiddy would have lowered his voice in reverence at Gail's name. Then he glanced across at Joy, sitting close by Phyllis in her gauzes, with her wonderful bronze-gold hair hanging around her like a mantle, and conceded within himself that it was not so surprising after all. Sure enough, Gail was unable to bear much weight on her foot by the next day.
I please don't send us to bed! I'm awful sorry! Allee isn't to blame! She tried to make me leave it alone, didn't you, Babe?" "Yes," hiccoughed the equally penitent, but loyal young sinner, "and then I helped dig up the rivers and pile on the mountains!" Gail's face relaxed a little; a great tenderness for these little orphan sisters swept through her heart, and she felt herself relenting.
"Now what shall we do?" demanded Clarence at the end of the act, pushing the Lord Chancellor's wig to one side, and staring around him. "What about Gail's guest, the one that's coming down tomorrow?" offered Tiddy. "We have her cast, anyway," Clarence answered dolefully.
