"Yep," replied Tavia; "and it was a nice one, too dark, didn't show " "Tavia!" exclaimed Dorothy warningly, for Tavia usually kept Dorothy busy correcting her possibly impolite speeches. "All right, Doro. It simply was 'a nice one, and when I dropped it I knew perfectly well that I would 'bust' something." "Did you?" asked Roger, not noticing Tavia's slang.
The strain swelled into a splendid chorus, and, while they sang, the girls wrapped up the china pieces, putting each safely in the box beside the damaged ones. "Speech! Speech!" came the demand from Tavia's corner, and without further ceremony Dorothy was lifted bodily up on the table and compelled to make a speech.
"That makes it so much worse! Mother did try so hard to save that money for me so that I might not always have to depend upon the goodness of Dorothy and her folks." "There's the train," called Dorothy, who was somewhat in advance of Tavia. "We will have to run! Look out for your purse!" The mere mention of purse or money brought the hot blood to Tavia's cheeks again.
But Tavia could not forget that her fault had caused great trouble to Dorothy, and try as the latter did, she could not get Tavia to resume her usual good spirits. "But it takes Nat," whispered Cologne, as he and Tavia sauntered off to catch imaginary trout. "Needn't worry about Tavia's nerves." "I move," said Ralph, "that the heroine ahem, be excused from duty for the period of two weeks.
Dorothy laughed at Tavia's attempt to cover up the experience with her joke. She knew Tavia did not really want to use common slang, but understood her way of teasing and jesting under pretense that Dorothy would be shocked and give her a "good scolding."
There was no use in running wild through the woods, when I could get a distinct view from here. It may be a gypsy camp. Where are the boys?" "They seem to have gotten away, somehow," sighed Cologne. "Oh, what shall we do? We cannot go alone to that camp." "Indeed I am going," declared Dorothy. "I heard Tavia's voice, and now I see a tent. If she is held there, we must go to her at once."
Why are girls neither women nor children in all the troublesome "between" years? Then Tavia's troubles. Dorothy had thought to do all Miss Brooks advised, but how could she do so to-night? And the letter Dorothy had given Tavia was certainly from Mr. Travers. Thoughts of the play, of little Mary's part, then the responsibility of insuring a success, crowded through Dorothy's confused brain.
It was late, and Dorothy was glad to feel that Tavia had conquered her homesickness, for that is what Dorothy insisted the attack was. It was, however, the first but the pain it left in Tavia's heart did not heal at once, nor did it leave the spot unscarred. Mrs.
"I guess we can manage a little thing like this. Come on; we'll see what it is that frightened you. Likely it was only Tavia's excited imagination." "Oh, please don't go alone!" pleaded Dorothy, holding her cousin back by the arm. "I I saw him it too. The awfullest-looking " "Ghost!" finished Ned with a laugh. "Well, I'm not afraid of anything, from ghosts to gillies!"
"Oh, yes," replied the other, remembering that Dorothy had refused to listen to the explanation of Tavia's difficulties. Tavia was in the hall, and Dorothy called her. Her eyes showed she had been weeping. At the sight of Miss Brooks she turned as if to leave the room. Dorothy put a detaining hand on her arm. "She has good news for you. I am going to leave you alone to hear it."
