That's enough to make any one grin. All right Midgety, what do you want me to do?" "It's King's choose," said Marjorie; "it's his Ourday, you know." So King chose "Twenty Questions," a game of which he never tired, and a jolly hour they all spent in playing it.
"I've telephoned to the office that I won't be there at all today, so what shall we do?" "Oh, Father, a whole Ourday, all for you and me?" Marjorie's eyes danced at this unheard of experience. "Yes, Midget; partly because I'm sorry for my troubled little girl, and partly because you are bearing your trouble bravely and cheerfully."
"An animal party?" said Gladys, to Midge, as they went upstairs to dress; "what does he mean?" "I don't know. You never can tell what Father's going to do. Especially on an Ourday. He always gets up lovely things for Ourdays." "He's a jolly man," said Gladys; "I never saw anybody like him." "Nor I either," agreed Midge; "I think he's just perfect."
So next morning, soon after breakfast, the children put on all the warmest wraps they could find, and in tam o'shanter caps, tippets, mittens and leggings, started out for their Ourday fun. The snow was more than a foot deep all over the great lawn, and Mr. Maynard selected a fine place for a fort.
They were following the Maynards' big car, and soon both cars stopped and all alighted and went into a beautiful hotel called "Holly-in-the-Woods." "Oh, how lovely!" whispered Marjorie to Kitty, as she squeezed her sister's arm. "Isn't this fun, Kit?" "I should say so!" returned Kitty. "The best Ourday ever!"
"How would you like to imagine a whole May time that was all playtime?" "For all of us?" rejoined Marjorie, her eyes dancing. "Oh, that would be a lovely imagination! It would be like an Ourday all the time! And by the way, Father, you owe us an extra Ourday. You know we skipped one when you and Mother were down South, and it's time for another anyway. Shall we have two together?"
"Well, but, Father, you owe them to us," said Marjorie, patting his cheek in her wheedlesome way. "And you're not the kind of a business man who doesn't pay his debts, are you?" "I hope not; that would be a terrible state of affairs! And so I owe you two Ourdays, do I?" "Yes, one for April, and one for May." It was the custom in the Maynard household to have an Ourday each month.
