Minturn described the elegance of every thing pertaining thereto, in the most graphic manner. Well, as time went on, Mr. Minturn, by strict devotion to business, gradually advanced himself in his profession. At the end of four or five years, he was able to move into a larger house and to get better furniture. Still, every thing was yet on an inferior scale to that enjoyed by Mr.
"You have me there, Miss Minturn," rejoined her companion, with a quizzical smile; "honesty compels me to confess that I have not been much of a Bible student, at least of late years. But allow me to say that your arguments against doctors, drugs and hospitals are very quaint, not to say convincing," he added, with an amused laugh.
But perhaps I ought to go on and take a look at Dorrie," said the physician, thoughtfully. "No, Phil; come with me. I am heavy-hearted, discouraged, and I need to be comforted," said the much-tried woman, the sound of tears in her voice. "Miss Minturn is very nice with Dorothy," she continued, struggling for self-control; "the child always seems happy and to forget herself when she is with her.
"Well, you will be in Aunt Emily's arms in about two minutes now," declared Uncle William, as through the trees the lights from Ocean Cliff, the Minturn cottage, could now be seen. "Hello! Hello!" called voices from the veranda. "Aunt Emily and Dorothy!" exclaimed Bert, and called back to them: "Here we come! Here we are!" and the wagon turned in to the broad steps at the side of the veranda.
"Surprising! I guess you'd think so. Why, when his father is talking to him real soberly, he mimics him, and laughs right in his face." "But I shouldn't suppose you would think there was anything strange about that." The boys looked puzzled. "Why, Mr. Minturn!" said Ellis; "wouldn't you think it strange if Howard should do so?"
But the young people in the motor car turned their eyes to the west. There the face of the Minturn dam could be discerned; and even as they looked at it they seemed to see it changing dissolving, covered with mist, and spouting geysers of what at first seemed like smoke. But it was Tom who realized the truth. "She's burst!" he cried. "The old dam's burst! There she goes in a dozen places!"
On their way downstairs Miss Minot stopped at Miss Williams' door. "I've got to tell her that Annie can't go, and I am taking you in her place," she said, as she rapped for admittance. "Of course, Miss Minturn can go if she has no special duties," Miss Williams observed, when the matter was explained to her.
Katherine paused beside Dorothy's chair on her way out, and made some pleasant reference to their meeting of the previous day, and then would have passed on, but the girl threw out her hand and caught hers, thus detaining her. "You must have studied the Bible a great deal, Miss Minturn, to get such lovely thoughts about God," she said, in an eager tone. Katherine flushed, for she knew Prof.
Edward was as straightforward as Tip had been; this point decided, he went down-stairs to the library door, and knocked. Mr. Minturn was alone, and busy; but he looked up as Edward entered in answer to his "Come in." "Well, sir, what is it?" "Have you time for a little piece of business?" "Always time for business; sit down. What is it about?" "Have you found a boy yet?" "No. Have you?"
But of course Dorothy knew there was no ship which so little a boy as Freddie could get in order to go sailing across the sea. But she did not want him to feel disappointed, and she knew better than to laugh at him. Freddie was very much in earnest. Dorothy Minturn spent two happy weeks with the Bobbsey twins.
