We reached Baltimore in the middle of the night, but finished our repose on board the steam-boat, and started for Washington at five o'clock the next morning. Our short abode amid the heat and closeness of a city made us enjoy more than ever the beautiful scenery around Stonington.
Stonington go, and that is likely to be the mountains, I heard them say. What are your plans, Mollie?" "About as unsettled as yours. I did want to go to the seashore, but mamma is so afraid of the water for Paul and Dodo. Those children never seem to grow, and half my pleasure is spoiled giving way to them." "Oh, but they are such sweet dears!" protested Amy.
We had not been long within reach of the great falls of the Potomac before a party was made for us to visit them; the walk from Stonington to these falls is through scenery that can hardly be called forest, park, or garden; but which partakes of all three.
She isn't even sure her name is Stonington, and as for Mr. and Mrs. Stonington being her uncle and aunt as she says, why, I heard the other day that there is doubt of that even. She and her chums think themselves high and mighty, but we wouldn't go with anybody that didn't know who they were!" "But I thought there was something about a flood in the West "
It showed that when the white man could find his enemy he could deal crushing blows, but the Indian was not always so easy to find. Before the end of January Winslow's little army was partially disbanded for want of food, and its three contingents fell back upon Stonington, Boston, and Plymouth.
Stonington very much improved and Amy only too glad to get out into the glorious sunshine of the summer morning. As the three chums, clad daintily in white, with a background of velvety green lawn to set them off, approached the Fords' beautiful home, they were surprised beyond measure to see Grace swinging leisurely back and forth in the big hammock under the trees.
Stonington about me," the man went on with what he evidently meant for a friendly smile, but which made the girls shudder. "My place is at Penbrook about ten miles up the river. Now, then, have you that rope fast?" "Yes," answered Betty. "Get ready then I'm going to pull you. And start your motor as soon as the tow rope gets taut!" "All right," answered Betty in business-like tones.
Hammond complimented the girls on the manner in which they ran the craft, each taking a turn at steering, while the overseer imparted instructions as to various sand bars and shallow places along the course. Mr. Stonington was much interested in the report brought back by the girls regarding the lawlessness of the interior camps, and he agreed with Mr.
The girls had decided on a hundred and one things to take with them, and had rejected as many, only to make new selections. But finally even their exacting tastes were gratified, and satisfied, and their trunks were ready to go. "But oh, I do wish Aunty Stonington was better," sighed Amy, the day before that set for their departure. "Why, is she worse?" asked Betty. "She seems very weak.
"Uncle Stonington is quite worried about her. I think when it came to getting the orange grove he took it as much on her account as on his own. The doctor said the air down there would do her good." "Is it as bad as that?" asked Mollie, in a low voice. "Well, she is not at all well," Amy replied. "But we all have hopes that a change will benefit her. I do hope you girls will come with me.
