In the story The Merriweather Girls and The Mystery of the Queen's Fan, these four girls solved the problem of the stolen fan. They had tense moments when it seemed as if they had failed, but they held on and won out. The next year a new member was added to their club. In The Merriweather Girls, On Campers' Trail, they found Enid, then known as Tilly, The Waif of the Woods.
She was going to the Merriweather ball, and Becky is to be there." She saw him gather himself together. "It is rather a Cinderella story, isn't it?" he asked, with assumed lightness. "Yes," she said, "but I thought you'd like to know." "What if I knew already?" She laughed and let it go at that. "I'm lonesome, Georgie, talk to me," she said. But he was not in a mood to talk.
This had been discussed between Lafe and herself many times, and they had rejoiced that in a few months, when Jinnie was eighteen, Mrs. Grandoken's worries would be lessened. She reached the bottom of the hill just as a car dashed around the lower corner, a woman at the wheel. One glance at the occupant, and Jinnie recognized Molly Merriweather.
Bet asked in a vexed tone. "Of course we'll go!" assented Enid. "We're The Merriweather Girls; one for all and all for one! What day do we start?" "Why not go tomorrow, if our folks agree? I'm anxious to see those claims put on record," said Shirley, "and the sooner business matters are attended to, the better for everyone. And just think, girls, it's our second business venture.
He believed that nothing could harm him, and he lay quietly in the uncomfortable position on the horse, wondering where he was going and how long they would hold him captive. What would The Merriweather Girls do when they heard about it? He had to smile at the thought of the adventure they would make of it. Yet perhaps it was nothing to smile about. He might never return alive.
The four Merriweather Girls were assembled at the railroad station where the long string of Pullman coaches stood ready. The girls were starting on a vacation trip to the southwest. "What's the matter, now, Joy Evans? Why all the tears?" Bet Baxter, her blond hair in disarray, caught the girl by the shoulders and gave her a rough but affectionate shake.
When Merriweather came on "to take his beating" from his employer he said among other things deprecatory: "Scarborough's a dreamer. His head's among the clouds." Dumont retorted: "Yes, but his feet are on the ground too damned firmly to suit me." And after a moment's thought, he added: "What a shame for such a brain to go to waste! Why, he could make millions."
Finally after many promises to be good, they opened the door and let Bob come in. The boys got a somewhat jumbled account of the business venture of the Merriweather Girls and they approved to such an extent that they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to get to work at once. "Where's a broom and we'll sweep the place out for you," suggested Phil.
"I'd rather you'd spend the money on Lafe and Bobbie," she said. But Peggy replied, "No," and that's how it came that Jinnie stepped quite proudly from the motor car at the stone steps. Molly Merriweather met her with a forced smile, and Jinnie felt strained until Theodore King's genial greeting dissipated the affront.
Molly Merriweather stood for a few minutes in silence, trembling. "I didn't dare to tell him the baby was blind," she whispered, too low for Jinnie to hear. Then she slowly glided away, leaving the girl under the table, with her pail full of cats, and the fiddle.
