But a shout from the whole tableful answered to this chance hit. Daisy didn't know what they could mean. "I have done!" said Gary. "I have got more than my match. But I know who will plague people worse than a puzzle, if she gets well educated. There's a pair of gloves, you little fencer." It was a nice little thick pair of riding or driving gloves; beautifully made and ornamented.
Knowles came in a few minutes later and, with scarcely a glance at the young people, settled down beside a tableful of periodicals and magazines to study the latest Government report on the reclamation service. Ashton had entered the "parlor" under the impression that here he would have Gowan at a disadvantage.
Oh! the vase is from the 'Hiking Club, and I don't know about the packages." Miss Lily beamed on her riches, upon Doodles, upon the whole tableful. "Why," she exclaimed softly, "I don't see how you came to do it! I never thought of having a single present! Oh, it's beautiful of you!" Her voice trembled. "I can't thank you half enough, but I shall love you, every one, as long as I live!"

He concluded nothing could be done before dinner, but he went prepared to be questioned and perhaps rated. He was pleased to find that his mother seemed to have forgotten his promise as much as he had, and to see her in the best of spirits with a tableful of company.

His little substitute did all a substitute could do; and at last when everybody seemed in full tide of merry-making, she stole away that they might have no constraint upon it. Before she had got far, she was startled by a noise behind her, and looking round saw that all the tableful had risen to their feet.
