Joy and I can watch until two o'clock, then we'll waken you." The girls caught the thrill of the night watch and almost hoped a thief might come so they could capture him.

You know she is going to study interior decorating when she grows up aren't you, Polly?" said Anne, placing an arm protectingly about the girl's shoulders and moving towards the chamber. Polly brightened up at once, for she remembered the sofa that Anne had praised as having made a fine bed, and then there were the gorgeous bronzed shades that darkened the windows!
