The Sawyer parents were dreading signs of rebellion, and Hannah now added enticingly: "We're goin' to pass 'round the gingerbread and the ras'berry vinegar, and Susan Winters said yous girls could dress up in your new plaid dresses." The twins looked doubtful. Gingerbread and their new frocks! This gave the pastoral visitation a festive aspect.

"Oh, I hope there'll be a band and dancing," said Georgina rapturously. "That's all you girls think about," snorted a young gentleman of about her own age, with deep scorn. "I hope there'll be a shooting gallery, an' those ras'berry puffs with cream on top. . . ." His eye followed the pitching steamboats, fast drawing near.
