"Girls, I'll have pictures enough for my shop this winter, and for half a dozen more!" Shirley exclaimed. Shirley was the business girl and had made a success of a little gift shop in Lynnwood. She had helped to support her parents and been able to continue at school with her chums. In this venture, The Merriweather Girls had all joined.
"It's no use," Bet often said to herself. "I'm as indifferent as I can be, but oh! how I despise that girl!" Antagonism against Kit Patten grew daily in the heart of Edith Whalen.

And when Bet promised to look after her, she was greatly relieved, for everyone in Lynnwood knew the bright little daughter of Colonel Baxter and trusted her. When Bet returned with the good news, the lunch was already spread. "Why this isn't a lunch at all!" exclaimed Joy with enthusiasm. "It's a banquet. And one of Auntie Gibbs' special ones. Isn't she a dear!
"Isn't it wonderful!" gasped Kit. "I've never had such a gorgeous time in my life." The girls stretched themselves out on the sand for a few minutes. "Doesn't Lynnwood look beautiful over there? And just see how very romantic the Manor is from here." "I think we'd better start back at once," exclaimed Bet suddenly.
It was a good hiding place." "But as usual when a man does something wrong, he gets found out! The girls were too smart for you!" answered the Chief. "Why did you want the fan? Tell me that." "I had a big offer from a dealer in Paris. That dealer told me it was owned by someone in Lynnwood, he didn't know who. But I knew that Colonel Baxter would be the only person who could have it. So I got it."
