"Oh, I don't care to go if you don't want me," said Joy, with a slighted look. "But I do want you. Who said I didn't?" "Well," said Joy, somewhat mollified, "I'll go if there aren't any spiders." The two girls equipped themselves with tin pails, thick boots and a lunch-basket, and started off in high spirits at precisely half-past one.
But, oh, girls, I did hope to finish that book to-day! It may be weeks before I'm keyed up to the pitch again where I feel equal to writing the climax as it should be done." There were tears in Wilma's eyes as she carried the lunch-basket into the pantry, but she giggled as, passing the old portraits on the stairs, as they went up to dress, Claribel shook her fist in their faces.
He set her down silently at the Tanner door and drove off, lunch-basket and all, into the wilderness, vexed that she was so stubbornly unfriendly, and pondering how he might break down the dignity wherewith she had surrounded herself. There would be a way and he would find it.
And by tacit consent the two paddlers sent their multi-chrome canoe sweeping toward it. Five minutes later, they had helped the girls ashore and were lifting out the lunch-basket and various newspaper parcels and the red-and-purple cushions. With much laughter and a snatch or two of close harmony, the lunch was spread.
Giles had produced it from her work-basket, and had gained a fervent kiss and hug from the little maiden thereby. At last Nesta arrived in a low pony carriage, to Betty's intense delight. She wished that Molly and Douglas had waited to see her step in and drive off, but they had run off half an hour before, nurse having packed them a lunch-basket, as desired.
Her face was white now, the little lunch-basket was open before her, but the cookie and the apple were untouched. Launcelot looked in through the window. "Poor little soul," he murmured. And then Tommy blubbered. "It was really my fault, Launcelot," he confessed. "What!" Tommy explained.
"What shall we do with the lunch-basket?" "Leave it in the wagon," said Sarah Ketchum, whose counsel, Kit said, was as free as the waters of the school pump. Clara objected to leaving it. Bob would eat everything up. "Let's take it along." "Why, no," said Julius. He was the largest of the boys, and, according to the knightly code, he remembered the carrying of the basket would devolve upon him.
All kinds and conditions of men came to make bets with him; custom was brisk; he could not join the women, who were busy with the lunch-basket, but he and Teddy would be thankful for the biggest drink they could get them. "Ginger beer with a drop of whiskey in it, that's about it, Teddy?"
If travelers carry a lunch-basket, they should discuss its contents quietly, and be careful not to litter the floor with crumbs, or the débris of fruits and nuts, nor to leave any trace of its presence after the luncheon is finished. If a lady is traveling under the escort of a gentleman, she will give him as little trouble as possible.
"Put plenty of them in our lunch-basket tomorrow, won't you, Grandma? Then we can take some home to Mother and Daddy." "Yes," said Grandma, "and there will be enough for your little friends, too." In the afternoon the children's trunk was brought out, and Grandma helped them to pack. There were so many things they wanted to take home with them, that this was quite a task.
