Maybe we want a sIoshy quintet.
Miss Sally was the gamest Of the
bunch. While Ogden is mOaEin' about
how damp ne is, she laughs and says
it's the first time she's ever been ship
wrecked in the mountains, and amt it
fun? Hiram says we can thank our
stars We amt u the bottom of the
lake: also that he's got to go home. and
if we foller the shore a couple of miles
Wen get to the camp.
It's good and dark then; but the
storm is about over. and pretty soon
/ the moon tries to leak through the
clouds; so we takes a vote on it, and
the decision is that we try to make the
camp. For an evenin' stroll, that was
little the punkest I ever took part in.
Where there was a strip of sand il was
all lovely; but mostly it was like try
in to pick your way through a swamp.
And when Uncle Hi called it two miles.
he didn't do it half justice. We was
gettin' along fairly well, though; when
the maid falls over a stump and
sprains her ankle so bad she can hardly
walk Course, there's only one thing 10
be done.
Here you, Ogden" says I. get hold
on the other side there and heIp,"
"Oh, really now, I cawn't do it, you
know" whines Oggie. I'm hardly able
her here until she's rested?"
What says I. Give her the cold
shake? Why, you saffTon-liveTed-"
Never mind" says Miss Sally, I'll
take the other side. We can manage"
Well, we did it; but III never tell you
how. All I've got is a kind Of hay
recollection of plungin' through bushes,
fallin' over logs. and sioshin' through
water for hours, with a faintin' girl on
nd a 10 oh
side of her.
Finally we hears a pianoIa gOin'
tUmpety-tump off somewhere ahead.
Then I lets out a few warwhoOps. until
they come out with lanterns and es-
corts us up on the porch. where they
crowds around and all asks fool ques-
tons at once
But where on earth have you been %
says Mrs. Blocker Fish.
Bubble ridin' with Henri until the
axle bust" says I; then boat ridin'
with Uncle Hiram until we ran down
the pint; and since then we've been
| promenadin' along the shore Of your
| lovely lake
Wasn't Ogden with you?" puts in
Sadie.
Was he" says Miss Dressler. If
you could have seen"
Look what's crawlin' up the path,
says 1. That's what left OF him.
/ Here's the maid, too. She's some dam
| aged. but"
| ''Why-why-" squeals Mrs. Fish.
| This isn't Oh, Lady Ellen, Lady FL
/ len! What a terrible time you must
/ have had"
"Eh2 Who-what-" says 7.
But there want any mistake. The
/ quiet-lookiu' girl in black that Ogden
had snubbed all along. turns out TO be
Lady Ellen Bungth0rpe-
say" says I to Sadie, after I'd Dor
rowed some dry toys and was gettin'
ready to make a break for the diniu'
| room. you ask Lady Ellen how enter
| tainin' she thinks Oggie is when he's
wet"
! But she don't need to. Miss Sally was
/ there with all the information, and
| when she gets through givin' out her
/ report of Mi. Beverley's travelin' man
ners. she had all the house with her.
| And he always seemed such pol
/ ished gentleman" says Sadie.
sure he is says I. "Reg'lar glossy
| finish, like d fruit peddler puts on q
rotten apple"
Course, though, they amt all Ogden's
/ style: but what I want to know about
| this beg pardon business and all that
/ is: Is it worth goin' after?
