And what did happen will be told in another book, to be called, "Dorothy Dale's School Rivals," in which we shall learn the particulars of some stirring doings at Glenwood Academy. "All the same," declared Tavia, a little sheepishly, "I don't believe it pays to try to keep Dorothy out when there's a question of " "Common sense," finished Cologne. "There's the cowbell.
She was there waiting, all dressed in her Sunday things, with a big bundle of what she was going to take along, and when I asked her, in a whisper, if she could jump and grab the limb, she didn't wait to think about it, or to give me notice to get ready, but just jumped, bundle and all, and grabbed the limb with one hand and me with the other, and down we swung, for Minty Glenwood was plump, too, and quite heavy with the bundle, and then she let go and dropped, which I should have done, only I forgot it, and a second later that limb sprang back and sent me sailing up into the sky just about in the direction of the full moon.
The hill was very steep, the river fairly curled around it, and the horses grew more nervous each moment, under the strain that was being put upon them. Deep in the bed of hay the girls from Glenwood School had ensconsed themselves. The horses were now going at such a pace that it would be rash to attempt to jump from the rick.
"Nope.... 'receive me not," read Tess. "'If another shall come " Ben burst forth with an eager invitation: "Will ye come to Glenwood for some ice-cream, Tessie? It air gooder'n pie on hot nights; and ye like my fiddlin', don't ye, Tess?" "Nope.... 'In His own name, ye will " "Ye don't like no ice-cream, do ye, Tessie?" put in Ezra Longman.
"Minty Glenwood landed all right on her bundle, I heard later and she and Winters had probably got a good ways on their wedding journey by the time I came down in a brush-heap, where we had been clearing up a new potato-patch. It broke my fall, but it was very stiff, scratchy brush, and when I got out I felt as if I had been in an argument with Mr. Wildcat.
What it was we shall discover in another story about her, to be called, "Dorothy Dale at Glenwood School." Schooldays at Dalton were rapidly drawing to a close now. Both Dorothy and Tavia applied themselves diligently, and, wonder of wonders, both passed! "I can't believe it!" cried Tavia, and she began to dance around the room. "Isn't it sublime!"
It would be very wise to get rid of the hay before entering the sacred precincts of Glenwood. The sight was most absurd. Five pretty girls, each dressed in the Glenwood blue and white, and each with a bundle of fragrant hay on her shoulder. "There's a lamb!" declared Cologne.
To a face and form of the most perfect beauty she added a degree of intelligence and sparkling wit, which, in all the rides, parties, and fêtes given by the young people of Glenwood, caused her society to be chosen in preference to those whose fathers counted their money by thousands.
And, in presenting the young ladies of Glenwood School, I must at once apologize for, and criticise Tavia Travers. From the very first book of the series entitled "Dorothy Dale, a Girl of To-day," we find Dorothy striving bravely to induce Tavia to give up her stagey ways.
"And I haven't yet told you of the adventure we had at Glenwood, just before school closed," went on Dorothy, realizing fully how delighted Roger would be with the tale of the hay wagon accident, as well as that of the scattered sheep. "We very nearly all lost a week's vacation through it, the principal was so indignant."
