"I enjoyed myself so much," said Mis' Holcomb-that-was-Mame-Bliss; "you look tired out. I hope it ain't been too much for you." "Entertainin' is a real job," said Mis' Sturgis, "but you do it almost as if you liked it. I enjoyed myself so much." "I'll give bail you're glad it's over," said Libbie Liberty, sympathetically, "even if it did go off nice. I enjoyed myself ever so much."
The bird smoothed its feathers in an instant, and, uttering a little note of delight, flew to Emanuel, putting his beak to his lips, as if kissing him, and then, perching on his head, it began a gurgling warble of pleasure, not by any means so varied or so clear as the song of the others, but which pleased Libbie more; for she was always one to find out she liked the gooseberries that were accessible, better than the grapes that were beyond her reach.
Come, now do; it will do you good, after all your working, and watching, and slaving yourself for that poor Franky Hall." "It was one of my odd jobs," said Libbie, smiling, though her eyes were brimming over with tears; "but, dear Anne," said she, recovering itself, "I could not do it to-morrow, indeed I could not."
We will secure them, take them on board a vessel we can secure, run them out to sea, hang them and throw their bodies heavily-weighted overboard. That is the plan; so let our good girl there, Libbie, carry out her plan. I am here now; there will be no surprises, no rushing in of detectives. I will have a well-armed and drilled force who will nail them all, and we will quietly dispose of them.
She cornered Libbie in the hall as the class streamed out and announced a decision. "I'll have to go see Bob I'll paddle one of the canoes," she said hurriedly. "If any one asks for me, say I'm out on the lake." Betty was now an expert with the paddle, and the trip across the lake was easy of accomplishment.
And you, too, Louise and Esther? Goodness me! suppose Carter had broken down on the road and hadn't brought me back in time "Libbie! For goodness' sake don't sit down in that chair. That package has got the loveliest orange silk over-blouse in it. Wait till you see it, Bobby."
When they struck into the foot of Fifth Avenue at the Washington Arch the globes on that thoroughfare were all alight. It was late enough for the traffic to have thinned out and their driver could travel at good speed save when the red lights flashed up on the traffic towers. "Isn't this wonderful?" said Betty. "Libbie is always enthusing about pretty views and fairylike landscapes.
Betty and Bobby at least considered that they were quite as well able to endure the hardships of a tramp through the snow as the boys. "I'd just like to see that tunnel, and see how hard it is snowing outside," said Betty privately to her chum. "Let's go look," exclaimed Bobby, equally curious. Libbie and Timothy had their heads together over a book.
And two other things impressed her unfavorably: The train was standing still and not a sound penetrated to the car from without. Libbie was sound asleep and Betty crept out of the berth without awakening the plump girl. She got into her wrapper and slippers and stole along the aisle to the ladies' room. Nobody as yet seemed to have come from the berths.
While Libbie was thinking up an answer, which considering the finality of that statement, was not an easy matter, the tall draped figure went on to explain to the interested girls that there were two degrees to be undergone before one could be a full fledged member of the Mysterious Four. "You must take the first degree to-night," they were told. "The second will be several weeks later."
