The next night all the farm people had a bonfire and a big dance up on the mountain, and everybody was dancing and singing. I guess they were all a little drunk, for they got to seeing how near they could make the girls dance to the edge of the cliff. Ole he was the girl's husband seemed the jolliest and the drunkest of anybody.
"I can make my own," declared Bab, with an independent toss of the head. "Not a bit; I'll make you the jolliest small bow that ever was, Belinda," Thorny hastened to say, softened by the appealing glance of the little maid.
"He hasn't two tails," he said. "One is his tail and the other is his trunk. That is Tum Tum, the circus elephant. And you needn't be afraid of him, for he is the jolliest elephant in the whole show. "But I'm not going to be caught," went on Mappo. "I want to run away farther, and have more adventures. So I guess I'll go before Tum Tum and the men see me. Good-by, Squinty. I'm glad I met you."
But the evening was different, informal and almost jolly. "But you must come out to camp," said Nat in desperation. "We have the jolliest quarters, on a high knoll, just off the lake front and not too far from the hotel a hotel is not bad to have around when a good blow takes the roof off your head at midnight."

"Are you having a good time, Grace, dear?" asked one. "Oh, quite the jolliest I have ever had in all my life!" was the reply. "I haven't missed one dance, and all my partners have been so handsome quite the prettiest fellows in the ball-room! And how is it with you?" "Oh, I'm enjoying myself, too!" laughed the other girl, "But did you notice what a ninny I had in that last waltz-quadrille?
'I have the jolliest little fellows this time about seven of them fellows scarcely too big to take on my knee, and talk to about God, and Heaven, and Jesus Christ; and I feel almost as if I had a kind of instinct of love towards them, as they look up wonderingly with their deep deep eyes, and smooth and glossy skins, and warm soft cheeks, and ask their simple questions.
With the liberal salary, I shall be able to take a house somewhere in London, and we can all live together, and have the jolliest larks.
They are the very happiest, jolliest family that you can imagine. I do really feel that we are making friends. The fun of it is that they think me a noodle, and say so at least Mr. Wilcox does and when that happens, and one doesn't mind, it's a pretty sure test, isn't it?
"Hurry up, Chet, take off your apron and dish up the stew while I pour the coffee. What do you know about that? I made the coffee. And doesn't it smell good?" It was the jolliest of meals and finished up in royal fashion with the peach pie and whipped cream.
