At least we can display original etchings on our trunks when we get them back home," remarked Eleanor, with a gleam of amusement at the affair. "Everything will simply be ruined! Just see that trunk holding my evening-dresses right by that horse-trough. Do make those awful creatures go away, won't you, Nolla?" begged Barbara. "With those nasty guns sticking from their belts not me!
Mea's forehead, also, was darkened by heavy clouds, but she was not as silent as her brother. Every few moments exclamations of pain or indignation escaped her. But had she not fared badly? When they had moved from Sils to Nolla, Elvira had immediately approached Mea as if she wanted to become her friend. Mrs.
He planked them down regardless of contents, and ran off to the station. It was an old discarded box-car shoved on a siding to do duty as ticket-office and freight station. The girls hurried out to the car platform and Barbara asked: "Nolla, why don't you call the porter?" "They never had one on this line!"
Barbara failed to appear, however, and finally Eleanor went to the door to call her. Her impatient words were arrested by hearing the operator at the telegraph instrument, read a message aloud. "Wire with news received. Have arranged for you. Plenty of marriageable men in party. Do not oppose anything father wants. Win his consent and money for visit. Nolla will be all right there with Anne.
"No, but even that leaves us less than eight hours' sleep. After such exciting days as we have been through, we need a good full night's rest," replied Anne. "Chances are Nolla and I won't close an eye! What, with gold mines, and John, and the Latimer boys, and Ken Evans coming to town and claim-jumpers, and everything!" laughed Polly.
"To tell the truth, that is exactly what I planned to do until I saw how big he was!" laughed Eleanor. "He must weigh at least two hundred pounds, Nolla," said Anne, who had come nearer during the examination. "Yes, nearer two hundred and fifty pounds, I reckon," said Polly.
Come back here!" cried Barbara, taking hold of her sister's feet. "Nolla, you shan't take the glory from me!" laughed Polly. Meantime Eleanor was pulled back and rolled over, laughing as heartily as if she were at a farce-comedy. "Now listen to me!" advised Polly, shaking a finger at the three girls.
Polly frowned at this admission, and Kenneth blushed, for he had never before been told so publicly that a pretty girl loved him! Eleanor doubled over laughing, and gasped: "Oh, you two adorable babes!" Further conversation was made impossible now, by Barbara and Anne coming in. They immediately joined the three young people, and Anne asked: "Did you get the mail, Nolla?"
Isn't that the place where you said Old Montresor had a cabin?" said Jim. "Yes, and it is a lovely spot. I've been there, and I promised Nolla I'd ride there with her some day," returned Polly. "Oh, I say, girls! Wouldn't it be great to have you-all ride up while we camped there? You could make up a party of it, couldn't you?" asked Kenneth, eagerly.
"You must wait now till after lunch, Kurt," she said kindly, "for you were rather late to-day." "Yes, I was rather slow at first," Kurt informed her. "Then Loneli ran after me to tell me something she has found out. I have often said before that Loneli is the most clever child in all Nolla, besides being the most friendly and obliging one could possibly find.
