At last the long-looked-for day arrived and by two o’clock eight children from the nearest ranches had ridden or had been brought by grownups to the Wopp farm, all arrayed in their best bibs and tuckers. “So long as it isn’t you, Ladybird, it’s all right,” Billy consoled; “we can make more boats.”.
