"And now that the costumes are all done, tomorrow night can't come too soon for me.","Violet, you may as well tell them all now as at any other time," he says, persuasively.,Diving under her stand, she fished out the bundle and opened it with trembling fingers.，"I am not pretending," says Mona, indignantly; "I am delighted: it is the most enchanting place I ever saw.

He was resplendent in his Sunday best and wore a wild thorn blossom in his button hole. He glanced quickly about the room and caught the glint and sunlight for which he hungered—a smile from the lips of Lou Scroggie. Then he seized Jack LaRose by the scruff of the neck, jerked him from the seat near the door and motioned Jim Scroggie over. "We'll set here," he whispered.
