Greek Hall was filled to overflowing, and the money fairly poured into the box office for the Harlowe House fund. There was a general rejoicing the next day among the performers, and the same night a social session was held in the living room at Harlowe House. To Grace it seemed as though she had been wafted back once more to the dear dead days when the Sempers had held forth.
How you managed to slip into the cottage without any of us seeing you is a greater mystery than the Seeress of the Seven Veils could ever hope to be." "Oh, it was all planned beforehand," explained Emma cheerfully. "While you loyal Sempers were out on the lawn this afternoon, stringing lanterns, I was shut up in a third-story room peering owlishly down at you through the shutters.
A had agreed to purchase ten Sempers Augustines from B, at four thousand florins each, at six weeks after the signing of the contract. B was ready with the flowers at the appointed time; but the price had fallen to three or four hundred florins, and A refused either to pay the difference or receive the tulips. Defaulters were announced day after day in all the towns of Holland.
All along I've thought about the Sempers and how strange and gray everything would seem without them." "I know it," sighed Grace. "I've felt exactly the same. Anne, Miriam, Arline, Ruth, Elfreda and you were my absent crushes, but now you are a present one, and next to you comes Patience Eliot. She always seemed like a senior. I think I'm going to love the new Kathleen West dearly.
"She helped me to be unselfish and to think of others," was Arline's sweet tribute. "She made me over," asserted Elfreda with emphasis. "She taught me college spirit," said Kathleen softly. "Sara and I didn't like college and never had much fun until Grace asked us to join the Sempers," declared Sue Emerson.
"Laura Atkins' father presented me with a real Japanese tea-set that he bought especially for me the last time he was in Japan. They are old enough to have a history, too. I couldn't resist parading them to-night in honor of the Sempers." "Tell us about them, Elfreda," begged Patience Eliot. "I love to hear " Patience never finished stating what she loved to hear.
But Elfreda smiled to herself and wondered what Anne, and incidentally, Everett Southard would say when they heard the news. The Sempers could scarcely have chosen a more perfect day for their last frolic.
Though the Sempers had arrived only that morning they had entered heart and soul soul into Elfreda's plan for a dinner on the lawn that evening, with the added treat of communing with a real fortune-teller afterward.
"You're an honor to the Sempers and your own sweet native land. Of course we aren't going to pick and choose whom we shall help. I think we had better appoint a committee to call on Miss West and find out if we can render her any financial assistance." "I'm in favor of that committee," declared Emma Dean, "only don't ask me to serve on it."
Being a young person of energy, she immediately wrote, and sent forth on their mission, funny invitations that were a virtual command to the Sempers to gather at the Briggs' cottage for a two weeks' reunion, and only three of the club had been unable to accept. To those who have known Grace Harlowe from the beginning of her high-school life she has now, without doubt, become a personal friend.
