"It is my fear that we are all wrong," said Aunt Stanshy. "I know something about this river, and about fogs, and about people rowing round like fools and getting nowhere." The members of the club now looked serious, and Will was provoked at Aunt Stanshy's remark. "Halloo there!"
A troubled look on her face had passed away and she was ironing quietly again. "Yes;" said Charlie, "you you sick?" Aunt Stanshy gave no answer to this, but asked again, "Don't you want to play?" "Play what?" "Boat." "Boat! how!" "O make believe, you know." Charlie thought in silence. "You lend me a box, aunty?" "Yes, certainly." "And that little broom you sweep with?"
"Well, who will holler under my window?" said Sid. "I," said Wort. "And under yours?" continued the president. "I," said Juggie. "And who under Juggle's?" "I," said Tony. "And who under Tony's?" "I," said Charlie. "And who under Charlie's?" That was a problem. "Aunt Thanthy," suggested Pip. "Aunt Stanshy is going out visiting," remarked Charlie. There was a very sad pause.
"I don't know as I can do any thing except to get people out," said Aunt Stanshy, fearful that she might be called upon to speak in the meeting. "Let us go and see Mr. Walton," suggested Miss Barry. "It would be the very thing," declared Aunt Stanshy. Very soon Aunt Stanshy, Miss Barry, Sid, and Charlie started for the minister's.
"Y e s," said Aunt Stanshy, reluctantly, remembering an old decision about the door. "I will be out, and you take the lantern that you will see in the back entry. Don't mind my floor. I will be out in two minutes." "Let me go down and show Will about the lantern," said Charlie. "Are you dressed?" "O yes.
What tea! what toast! what an orange! "Now that you have some strength, do you want to dress and then come down and sit with me in the sitting-room and see me iron?" asked Aunt Stanshy, after breakfast. "O, yes, and not go to school?" "No school to-day, when that cold is on you." Charlie crawled into his clothes and went down stairs to the sitting-room. Aunt Stanshy was ironing.
With the help of Aunt Stanshy's "essences" enough snow was flavored to meet the demands of customers, who, quickly notified, quickly appeared, bringing the contents of all the nail-boxes at their homes. Even Aunt Stanshy was prevailed upon to buy a dish, and she consistently paid cash for it. Her boarder, Will Somers, was induced to promise more extensive patronage.
"O the Tylers all live in the same nest." "Jane and Aunt Stanshy, then, do not speak to one another," reflected Charlie. There is such a thing as a club breaking, going to splinters even. This sad end of a club was experienced by the Up-the-Ladder Club. It was not a strange thing, as all human organizations have their ups and downs, and many have their downs especially. It happened in this way.
"I wonder how bright one must be to be an honorary member if if a monkey is the standard?" thought Aunt Stanshy. This visit from the monkey was not the only unusual thing happening that day. The club heard with sorrow of the unexpected and total loss of their money! Charlie, as "treasury," had gone up the ladder, but returning, he reported that the dipper, the safe of the club, was missing.
As he went down stairs, the members of the club gathered around the open window, anxiously looking out and awaiting the return of their embassador to her majesty in the kitchen, Constantia the first. Aunt Stanshy was washing clothes when Charlie entered.
