Like Hedgeville the only man there who has a telephone is Farmer Weeks." "Yes," said Dolly triumphantly, "and he's got more money than all the rest of the people in the place put together, hasn't he!" Bessie laughed. "And all this just because you want an ice-cream soda! What will you do if you really can't have one, Dolly?" "I don't know!
Even Bessie, used to long walks around Hedgeville, in which she had learned the country thoroughly, was surprised. "I don't believe I'd ever get to know these woods as well as you do," she said admiringly. "Why, you never seem even to hesitate." "I've been here every summer since I was born," said Lolla, in a laughing tone. "I ought to know these woods pretty well, I think."
"I don't know. I don't know what it's like to be rich, Dolly." "Oh, you could do all sorts of things! You could make them take you back to Hedgeville in an automobile, just for one thing." "There are lots and lots of places I'd rather go to, Dolly." "Oh, yes, of course! But think of how everyone would stare at you, and how envious they would be!
"Well, I certainly have got a better opinion of country people than I ever used to have, Bessie," said Dolly Ransom. "After the way those people in Hedgeville treated you and Zara, I'd made up my mind that they were a nasty lot, and I was glad I'd always lived in the city." "Well, aren't you still glad of it, Dolly? I really do think you're better off in the city.
The prospect when they rounded the turn in the road bore out his slur on the village of Tecumseh. It wasn't much of a place scarcely more than the village part of Hedgeville, as Bessie saw. The station was there, and two or three stores and a post office. But Bessie and Dolly were more interested in the man who was sitting gloomily, watch in hand, on the station steps.
There was a mystery about them, and the people in Hedgeville just made up their minds that something was wrong." "I feel awfully sorry for Zara, Bessie. It must be dreadful for her to know that her father is in prison, and that they are saying that he was making bad money. You don't think he did, do you?" "I certainly do not!
I'm glad we won, because I think boys sometimes get the idea that girls can't do anything, and it's just as well for them to find out that we can." "You're getting on, Bessie. When you first came from Hedgeville you wouldn't have believed that, or, if you had, you wouldn't have said it." "Oh, I think I would have, Dolly.
She herself had seen a few gypsies near Hedgeville in her time, but in that part of the country those strange wanderers were not popular. "All right," she said. "But if I do that will you promise to start for home as soon as we've had a look at them, and never to play such a trick on me again?" "I certainly will. Bessie, you're a darling.
How clearly, now, they understood the meaning of the three syllables, that had seemed to them so mysterious, so utterly without meaning, when they had first heard them on the shores of the lake, as, surprised, they peeped out and saw the merry band of girls who had awakened them after their flight from Hedgeville. For a moment, so overjoyed were they, they couldn't move at all.
"Why they should pick out Canton rather than any other station where the trains stop along the line?" "That's just it, Bessie. Why should they?" "That's the whole point, Dolly. Look at this map. Do you see the state boundaries? For just a little way this line is in the state Canton is in and Canton is in the same state as Hedgeville!" "Oh!" gasped Dolly. "You were right, Bessie, I was stupid!
