“Who is going to invite me?” inquired Jeremias. “Well, fellows, what’d you do with yourselves while I was away? Must have been pretty tiresome up at the Canyon, wasn’t it?” It was Mr. Whitney talking. He had told them that his trip to Washington had been a great success.

“That’s great!” said Steve Whitney. “Now go ahead and spin me the whole yarn.” There they were, all of them, down in the syringa arbor—Olea the cook, Lisa the nursemaid, Asta, Andrea, and Dagny. Aunt Grenertsen opened the box. Only when he had carried all his treasure to the door, did he realize that in all probability his work had been in vain..
