Sahwah, yours turns up, will you look and see which way the rain- drops are going?" There was no answer. "Well, don't answer, if you don't want to," said Nakwisi, rather crossly. We took our veils down from our eyes and looked around to see the cause of this unusual silence on Sahwah's part. Then we got the second big shock of the evening. Sahwah was not in the car!
"And let the two that hold out the longest have the first ride in the canoe," suggested Sahwah. The game started. Nyoda had the first chance. "Automobiles," she began. "Bricks," said Gladys. "Clothing," said Migwan. "Drugs," said Sahwah. "Engines," said Hinpoha. "Flour," said Mrs. Evans. "Gasoline," said Nakwisi. "Hardware," said Chapa. "Iron," said Medmangi.
And one did fall, just as they were going through, and came smashing down in the path at their feet. Nakwisi ran to pick it up and the guide said she might have it, adding that such a bunch, unbruised, sold for twenty-five cents in the city market. "Oh, how delicious!" cried Nakwisi, tasting the grapes and dividing them among the girls. Mrs.
Upon our asking for water and soap we were directed to a room on the second floor where a bowl and pitcher stood on a wash-stand and a towel hung over a chair. "After having had such a dose of water last night I didn't think I'd ever care to wash again," said Nakwisi, "but that wash bowl's the best thing I've seen yet this morning. Hurry up and give me my turn."
There was a moment of silence and then they sang a hearty cheer: "Oh, we cheer, oh, we cheer for Wohelo, For our comrades and friends so true, And our loyalty ever shall linger, Oh, Nakwisi, we sing to you! Oh, Chapa, we sing to you! Oh, Medmangi, we sing to you!" "Oh, Katherine, here's to you, Our hearts will e'er be true, We will never find your equal Though we search the whole world through!"
Now that I look back at it I think we must have been a funny sight, for while we stood there we threw on our jackets over our night-dresses and held the rest of our belongings in our hands. With all the rest of her impedimenta Nyoda had rescued her camera, Nakwisi her spy-glass and I my note-book, and they gave us an odd, jaunty tourist appearance which must have been amusing.
Nakwisi jumped with joy when they told her; she, too, had been sighing for some place to go. Veronica and Medmangi, however, had their summer plans already made. "My, won't the Sandwiches envy us," said Sahwah that night, as they all met at Gladys's house to talk over their plans more fully. "I wonder " began Mrs. Evans.
Nyoda frowned as she drove; I know she hated the spectacle we made. "Needles and pins, needles and pins, When a girl drives an auto her trouble begins," spouted Sahwah. "Aren't we nearly there?" sighed Nakwisi, as she came back to the seat after rising to the occasion of a bump. "Long est via ad Tipperarium", replied Sahwah, and then bit her tongue as we struck a hole in the road.
It makes me feel as if I had lost my last friend. Nyoda hadn't any idea where she was going, but she kept the car moving slowly, hoping that we would come to a town pretty soon. We sounded the horn constantly to warn any other vehicles on the road and Nakwisi offered to sit in front and keep a lookout with her telescope. "Telescope!" said Sahwah, scornfully. "What you want is a collide-o- scope!"
Is there anything the matter?" The woman stood staring as if fascinated at the towels which were lying all over the floor. At that moment Nakwisi opened the door of the bath and emerged in her dressing-gown, the open door behind her revealing splashes of water all over the room and more towels on the floor. The woman put her hand to her throat as if she were choking.
