Will you kiss and be friends, if I trot her down?" asked Tom, remembering his fellow-sinner. "I 'll go to her." And Polly whisked out of the closet as suddenly as she had whisked in, leaving Tom sitting on the boot-jack, with a radiant countenance. How the girls made it up no one ever knew. But after much talking and crying, kissing and laughing, the breach was healed, and peace declared.
To find him waiting for her in Miss Burd's study, ready to escort her to the Alhambra tea-rooms, seemed like a fairy tale come true. She whisked off at once to make the best possible toilet in the circumstances, and reappeared smilingly ready.
Then the children were whisked away to tidy up for dinner, and fresh white frocks were found in the suitcases. Midget and Kitty tied each other's ribbons, and soon were ready to go downstairs again. The Bryants met them in the hall, and took them down. "Isn't it like Fairyland!" said Marjorie, enchanted by the palms and flowers and lights and music.
