"She is with the Pratts," he said, with decision. "I am glad I sent a note over early, if it will relieve your mind, but I am convinced she is with the Pratts." Mrs. Gresley murmured something. She looked scared. She made an attempt to eat something, but it was a mere pretence. The swing door near the back staircase creaked. In the Vicarage you could hear everything. Mr. and Mrs.
The "Gar'ners" were a better family than the Pratts, and the deacon being so "well to do," it was believed by these persons that he was disposed to unite money with name, and thus give to his family consideration, from a source that was somewhat novel in its history.
In a moment they were passed, and a report of cannon and field-artillery showed that the east lodge of Warpington Towers had been reached, and the solemn joy of the Pratts was finding adequate expression. "She looked rather frightened," said Mrs. Gresley. "Such a magnificent reception is alarming to a gentle, retiring nature," said Mr. Gresley.
The busy hands of the Camp Fire Girls had done much to rid the place of its look of desolation, and now everything spoke of hope and renewed activity instead of despair and inaction. A healthier spirit prevailed, and now the Pratts, encouraged as to their future, were able to join heartily in the laughter and singing with which the Camp Fire Girls made the work seem like play.

"But surely you told the Gresleys when first you came that you must not be interrupted at certain hours?" "I did. I did. But, of course it is very natural they think that rather self-important and silly. I am thought very silly here, Rachel. And James does not mind being interrupted in writing his sermons. And the Pratts have got the habit of running in in the mornings."

But you can't do nothing about it she have got the marrying habit.
"Just you wait till you know how many friends you really have around here, Mrs. Pratt!" she said. "Well, I told you I hoped to bring back good news, and I have, and if you'll all give me a chance, I'll tell you what it is." "You've found a place for all the Pratts to go!" said Dolly.
