Ruth knew this, and likewise she was confident that they were by no means getting nearer to the camp when they followed such a course. But she hoped to find some shelter before the weakest of the girls gave out. This was Lluella Fairfax. She was delicately built, and unused to muscular exertion of any kind.
I'd rather spoil everything I've got on than run the risk of freezing," declared Madge, with conviction. They did what they could to keep the other girls warm; but before the hour Madge had proposed to awaken them, Lluella roused and cried a little because she was so chilly. "My goodness me, Lu!" yawned Heavy, who was awakened, too, "you are just the leakiest person that I ever saw!
"Catch me bundling up in a fur coat and mittens and stopping out there in that draughty place!" cried The Fox, "while the rest of you are stuffing yourself to repletion in a nice warm room." "Thought you didn't care for the goodies?" demanded Heavy, slily. "I don't care for catching my death of cold, Miss!" snapped Mary Cox. Neither Lluella, nor Belle, would "be the goat."
"Why! it's coming in a perfect sheet." "Sheet!" repeated Jennie Stone, with scorn. "Call it rather a blanket. And a thick one." "B-r-r-r! How cold it's grown!" cried Lluella. "The wind is coming with the snow, girls," shouted Helen. "Come on! let's bustle along home. This place was never meant for us to be bivouacked in.
"My father will give some," Helen said. "We'll write to Madge Steele," said Belle. "Her father might help, too." "I guess all our folks will be willing to help," Lluella Fairfax added. "And," said Jennie, "here's Ruth, with a fortune in her own right." But Ruth did not make any rejoinder to Jennie's remark and that surprised them all; for they knew Ruth Fielding was not stingy.
He writes histories! He must be a very brainy man." "Who ever reads them?" grumbled Mercy. "They look awfully solid," confessed Lluella Fairfax. "Did you ever look at the whole row of them in the office bookcase?" Jennie Stone began to giggle. "I don't care," she said, "the doctor may be a great historian; but his memory is just as short as it can be.
"Hurrah for the Stone pere!" cried Mary Cox. "Go on, Lluella." "You sound as though you cheered for a sea-wall of masonry, or some such maritime structure," complained Jennie. "'Stone pere, indeed!" "She sha'n't have any of the next box of creams, Heavy," said Lluella, soothingly. "And I'm not sure that you will, either," replied the fat girl.
The light girl was Belle Tingley, and the dark one Lluella Fairfax; of course, the red-haired one was Mary Cox, "The Fox," while the stout girl could be no other than "Heavy" Jennie Stone. The Fox came forward quickly and seized both of Ruth's hands. "Dear Ruth," she whispered. "I arrived just this morning myself.
Belle and Lluella and Heavy were not so reckless, either. And as the S.B.'s stood for friendship, kindness, helpfulness, and all its members wore the pretty badge, it was likely to be much easier for those "infants" who joined the school now. Ann Hicks was bound to receive some hard knocks, even as Mrs. Tellingham had suggested.
"Lucky you brought along another wagon, Uncle Noah," said The Fox, as the remainder of the girls ran to the second vehicle. Both of the wagons soon started. It was a hot and dusty afternoon and the girls were really crowded. "I'm squeezed in so tight I can't think," moaned Helen. "Ouch!" cried Belle Tingley. "That's my funny-bone you hit, Lluella, with your handbag. Oh! how funny it feels."
