The girls spoke to them pleasantly, without any reference to what had been said or done, and they began to fear that some plan was under way which might promise even better sport than their sleigh-ride. "They'll get up something to beat us," Tom Hardy said, mournfully.
Mr Elliott sat down beside the bright wood fire in the kitchen, with Marian on one knee and the little stranger on the other, and listened to the exclamations of one and all about the sleigh-ride.

The mirth was infectious, and as the horses flew over the frozen road, the gay jingle of bells mingled happily with the joyous laughter of young voices.

"'Manda Grier!" said Statira, in protest.
Marvin, who was near them, saw Dorothy draw Nancy closer as if to protect her. "Is Nancy ill?" she asked kindly. Patricia had left the hall when she saw Mrs. Marvin speaking to Dorothy. Dorothy explained how frightened Nancy had been ever since the sleigh-ride, a few weeks before. "Come into my apartment and tell me all about this. I am greatly interested," she said.
