"Yes, you are sure the air is so strong you must swallow strength all the time," and Nellie knew from the remark that Dorothy was a jolly girl, and would not talk sickness, like the people who visit poor children at hospital tents. Even Mrs. Manily, who knew Nellie to be a capable girl, was surprised at the way she "fell in" with Nan and Dorothy, and Mrs.
Aunt Sarah told her about the sewing school, and then she said she was going to have a little account printed about it in the year's report of good work done for the Aid Society. "And Mrs. Manily has written an account of your circus," the matron told Harry and Bert, for she had heard about the boys and their successful charity work.
"I'm a cash-girl in a big store," said Nellie with some pride, for many little girls are not smart enough to hold such a position. "I thought all children had to go to school," Aunt Sarah said to Mrs. Manily. "So they do," replied the matron, "but in special cases they get permission from the factory inspector. Then they can work during the day and go to school at night."
"Be sure to bring Sandy back with you," called Freddie, who did not go to the camp this time. "Tell him I'll let him be my twin brother." Nan and Aunt Sarah went with the boys, but how disappointed they were to find a strange matron in charge of the camp, and Sandy's eyes red from crying after Mrs. Manily.
"Dear little fellow! Think of our Freddie being alone in the world like that!" Mrs. Bobbsey could hardly keep her tears back. She stooped over and kissed Sandy. "Do you know my mamma?" he asked, looking straight into the lady's kind face. "Mrs. Manily is your mamma, isn't she?" said Mrs. Bobbsey. "Yes, she's my number two mamma, but I mean number one that used to sleep with me."
Maybe we could bring him over to our house for a few days." "Yes, Mrs. Manily spoke of that," said the matron, "and she had received permission from the Society to let Edward pay a visit to Mrs. Daniel Bobbsey. See, here is the card." "Oh, that will be lovely!" cried Nan, hugging Sandy as tight as her arms could squeeze. "Freddie told us to be sure to bring you back with us."
It was only the happiness of seeing Mamma Manily once more that kept Sandy from crying when they told him he was to go on a great big fast train to see his own papa. "You see," Mrs. Manily explained to Mrs. Bobbsey, "a wealthy aunt of Edward's expects to adopt him, so we will have to give him up, I am afraid." "I hope you can keep track of him," answered Mrs.
If Dorothy had expected to find in the little cash girl a poor, sickly, ill child, she must have been disappointed, for the girl that came with Mrs. Manily had none of these failings. She was tall and graceful, very pale, but nicely dressed, thanks to Mrs. Manily's attention after she reached the city on the morning train. With a gift from Mrs.
Manily, you mean," said Sandy. "I'll just go and ask her." "Isn't he cute!" exclaimed Flossie, and the pretty little boy ran in search of Mrs. Manily. "I'm going to ask mamma if we can bring him home," declared Freddie. "He could sleep in my bed." The others of the party were now walking through the big tents. "This is where we eat," the matron explained, as the dining room was entered.
"I think I could eat," said Mrs. Bobbsey, then the mechanical piano player was started, and the party made their way to the dining room. Uncle William took Mrs. Manily to her place, as she was a stranger; Bert sat between Dorothy and Nan, Mr. Bobbsey looked after Aunt Emily, and Mr. Jack Burnet, a friend of Uncle William, who had been spending the evening at the cottage, escorted Mrs.
