"It's a a letter we found in the Bible " "So you brought the whole thing?" Uncle Johnny laughed. "Lead the way, Miss Lee." In the automobile Gyp had to have an explanation of the poles and the rope. When she heard of their fears her face grew troubled.
So expeditious had they been that not a Maynard was ahead of them, except their father, who had just come down. "Merry Christmas, girlies!" he cried, and just then everybody came down, almost all at once, and the greetings flew about, as thick as a snowstorm. Grandma Sherwood, in her soft grey breakfast-gown, beamed happily at her brood of grandchildren, and soon they all gathered round the table.
"Any plans for the afternoon, girlies?" she asked now, when the forced strawberries were on the table, and little Florence was trying to eat the nuts out of her cake, and at the same time carefully avoid the cake itself and the frosting.
