"You'll do, girlies," she commented; "your frocks are all right. We'll be over later. I hate to have you carry that big cake, Dolly." "Oh, I must, Mrs. Rose; I wouldn't trust it to any one else. Bert offered to take it, and Bob did, too. But if they should drop it or anything, I'd never get over the disappointment.
"If you have considered the matter carefully and want to share your Fourth of July with the Home children, I am perfectly willing, girlies, and will do all I can to help you succeed." "That's what we wanted to know, grandpa," she cried gleefully.
Hope's pout died out into a shamefaced smile. "There, there! Consider it unsaid, Miss Wisdom. Guess I can appreciate the dear man, myself and there he is looking for us now." Quite over her pet, she ran to meet him, and his tender smile met their upturned faces. "Ah, girlies, I was just coming for you. I'll see you in to the table and join you presently.
She felt absolutely dismayed and utterly cast down, as if under a depression that would not lift, but she gave no physical sign of this except by her tense, drawn face and her frequent despairing sighs. "It's just awful, girlies," said Mrs. Rose, full of helpless sympathy; "but I can't think of anything to do.
"I'm afraid she is," and Mrs. Perry looked troubled. "She has a bad sore throat and she's quite feverish. Now you girlies dawdle around as much as you like. Although I'm commissioned to tell you that there are two young men downstairs just pining for you, and they asked me to coax you to come down at once." "Let them wait," said Patty; "we'll be down after a while. Mayn't we see the baby?"
I am glad you are thinking. Long, long ago when my own girlies were choosing their friends I asked them to remember two things as they chose not only that the one they chose might be their husband, but that he also might be my son, and the father of their children.
"There are plenty who haven't," said the doctor, taking up his paper with a sigh. "Well, girlies, you seem interested in this little fellow so, if you like, you may invite him and his cousin to take dinner with you on New Year's night." "Oh, Papa!" said Edith, her eyes shining like stars. The doctor laughed.
"Now, I'll take you girlies upstairs," Mrs. Bryant chatted on, taking Marjorie and Kitty each by a hand; "and I'll brush your hair and wash your paddies, and fix you up all nice for supper." Marjorie couldn't help laughing at this. "Don't let us make you too much trouble, Mrs. Bryant," she said. "You know we're quite big girls, and we tie each other's ribbons." "Bless me! Is that so?
'Well, said Hollyhock haltingly, 'I somehow it seems hard on Mrs Macintyre, doesn't it? 'Not a bit of it, dear. Why, it's the making of her school. She has got so many applications for girlies like yourself to go to Ardshiel that she soon will have to close her lists.
Cousin Jack commented; "now forget it, kiddies, and let's go into the house and get dried out. Are you girlies much wet?" "Not so awfully," replied Marjorie. "Mostly our hair and, oh, yes, the front of Ruth's skirt is soaked!" "Well, we'll build a fire in the library, and hang ourselves up to dry. Come on, all you Sand boys and girls."
