After much talk between the farmer and his wife, and many contrary directions, Dorothy was finally enveloped in a nightdress that even Tavia in her palmiest days could not have anticipated. It was big, it was broad, it was long, and it was roomy! But it was sweet and clean, and Dorothy closed her eyes directly after Samanthy Hobbs put to her lips a drink of catnip tea!
"You no doubt think me a strange woman every one does but I have a motive in traveling about. I had a very dear sister whom I lost years ago. Lately I have learned that she died in this section of the country. She left a child a baby girl and I hope some day I may find that child." Miss Brooks paused to cover her eyes with her slim hand. Tavia noticed that her hands were white and shapely.
Aunt Winnie is a lovely lady we call her Winnie from Winthrop, because her own name is Ruth and we have another Aunt Ruth out West." "Lucky thing I had my 'new' dress, and all the other things Aunt Mary sent by express last week. And father's new suit case his men presented him with when he left the factory wasn't that providential?" asked Tavia.
"And the queer part of it is," said Tavia, "I am supposed to be a joke to get and take everything funny. This is certainly no joke. How do you feel, dear? I hope these people will let us in. We may get some camping days after all." They timidly made their way to the tent. It was closed! "No lights," remarked Molly. "Oh, Tavia. My head hurts again!"
The one that you woke up with is so becoming." "How much time have we?" asked Tavia, bestowing more care on the brushing of her short hair now than she had ever thought of giving the mass that the barber still had in his keeping. "Perhaps an hour, but we want to get out on the lawn, for a game of ball before we start. I am just dying to play real ball! I do miss Joe and Roger so!"
"Certainly. Not on the roof, but behind the big old stone walls. I could see the place was made of stone, although it was almost dark." "Why, that place has been deserted for years," declared Nat. "Then the deserter has returned," answered Tavia, "and the old man told me folks around there are just scared to death to be out after dark." "Folks around there?
Sitting there on the grass that revengeful spirit took the form of a resolve in Sarah's heart to "pay back" Tavia Travers. Within the schoolroom more than one girl was wondering what had happened to Sarah Ford. Dorothy was worried. Hers was a nature that took all things seriously, while Tavia insisted on looking on "the easy side" as she termed Hope.
"Think away, then," snapped Tavia, "but if you go up to that old ramshackle house I'll just " "Scream! Oh, do; it will add greatly to the effect," and Nat, in his boyish way, continued to joke and tease, until Tavia was obliged to laugh at her own fears. Presently Dorothy espied a tree a pretty young spruce that seemed to meet all the requirements of a Christmas tree.
"What particular variety is that?" asked Tom. "Oh, Tavia declares that in magazines scientific fellows are materializing the immaterial," said Nat quite learnedly. "That is what we call magazine ghosts." "But that howl was never immaterial," persisted Tom. "I should say it emanated from a well developed thorax."
Ordinarily I would not interfere it is really a trifle risky for me, but she seems so young; and well, I'll take my chances this time." Dorothy was completely mystified. She could not guess at any business or circumstances which might occasion such remarks. But somehow she felt that the woman spoke with knowledge of something about Tavia.
