Swift, he was overjoyed to find his niece and wanted to carry her off with him then and there, but Mrs. Golden insisted on her finishing her visit. When the question of returning to Oaklawn came up, Mr. Swift would not hear of it at first, but finally yielded to Carol's entreaties and Ruth's own desire. "I shall graduate next year, Uncle, and then I can come back to you for good."
As Little Paul expressed it, "they were tickled half to death"; and when they reached the grove it was a sad and bitter disappointment for them to get out and go home. "I was thinking of something," said Charles, a little while after they had landed their passengers. "What was it, Charley?" replied the commodore. "That we might invite the boys of Oaklawn to spend a day with us on the lake."
"Tony has been very busy," continued Frank, pointing to the buoys, that speckled the waters. I am afraid the cruise is about up." "Tony has passed the rapids. You know steamboats go down the rapids on the St. Lawrence River." "Ah, there is Oaklawn," said Frank, pointing to the spire of a church in the distance. "We cannot go much farther, I know." "We have made nearly four miles."
There was "no fun in her," the girls said, and so it came about that she was left out of their social life, and was almost as solitary at Oaklawn as if she had been the only girl there. She was there for the special purpose of studying music, and expected to earn her own living by teaching it when she left.
She certainly got along very well with them; and if she did not make the social sensation that pretty Maud Russell might have made, the Goldens all liked her and Carol was content. "Just four days more," sighed Carol one afternoon, "and then we must go back to Oaklawn. Can you realize it, Ruth?" Ruth looked up from her book with a smile. Even in appearance she had changed.
The passage down the river had been much quicker than the upward trip, and before sunset the boats were all housed, and the clubs had separated. On the following week the courtesies of the club were extended to the boys of Oaklawn, as arranged by the commodore, and a very fine time they had of it.
