Miss North permitted the girls to leave Boston on Thursday night, so, arriving at Sargentville early Friday morning, they had three full days at their disposal. And days filled to the brim they were! The first great treat was Fairview itself. Just why it was called a cottage, baffled Blue Bonnet's Western conception of that title.
"Isn't Sargentville the place where Ben Billings' family have a summer home?" Sue inquired quite casually; but the remark brought a laugh. Ben Billings, despite his very ordinary name, and Sue's particular aversion to it, had sailed into her ken with meteor-like brilliancy. She had changed her opinion of him since the visit to Harvard, and was the object of considerable teasing.
You must be awfully nice to Mrs. Paine, Sue; maybe she'll ask you to remain on over into the summer." Angela thoroughly enjoyed seeing the color mount Sue's cheeks, as Sue adroitly changed the subject. The girls found Sargentville all that Angela's highly colored imagination had pictured it.
The song of the Lambs had been sung with much enthusiasm and feeling, and many injunctions passed on to the Junior part of the assemblage for use during the next year. There was a wild enthusiastic cheer for Sargentville; an equally ecstatic one for Mrs.
"Girls!" she said excitedly, "we're going to get our three days' cut, and oh, guess what's happened! Patty Paine's mother's here we just left her down in the reception-room, and she's invited us all the Lambs down to her summer home in Maine at a place called Sargentville. They have a cottage there, and she's going down and will take us, and Miss North says we can go."
Isn't it too utterly splendid?" "And Fairview Cottage is the most ideal spot in the world," Angela put in dreamily. "I'm so glad that it is full moon time. There's a place around Sargentville called Caterpillar Hill, with the most fascinating road winding up to it. I loved it so that I wrote an ode to it last year when I visited Patty." "Will the family all be there?" Sue inquired.
