"And I'm going to make a new bathing suit for my rubber doll," said Rose. "What are you two going to do?" and she looked at Margy and Mun Bun, who were toddling along hand-in-hand. "We's goin' in swimming'," said Mun Bun. "He means wading with his shoes and stockings off," said Vi. "He asked mother if he could, and she said yes." "Did she say Margy could, too?" asked Rose.

This cool, shaded water in the Beaver is worth three cents a head, and I'll count you down to a toddling calf and your wagon mules.
