A Girl Of The Limberlost

CHAPTER XI
29/45

One big package settled the trouble at Sinton's, for it contained a dainty dress from Margaret, a five-dollar gold piece, conspicuously labelled, "I earned this myself," from Billy, with which to buy music; and a gorgeous cut-glass perfume bottle, it would have cost five dollars to fill with even a moderate-priced scent, from Wesley.
In an expressed crate was a fine curly-maple dressing table, sent by Freckles.

The drawers were filled with wonderful toilet articles from the Angel.

The Bird Woman added an embroidered linen cover and a small silver vase for a few flowers, so no girl of the class had finer gifts.
Elnora laid her head on the table sobbing happily, and the Bird Woman was almost crying herself.

Professor Henley sent a butterfly book, the grade rooms in which Elnora had taught gave her a set of volumes covering every phase of life afield, in the woods, and water.

Elnora had no time to read so she carried one of these books around with her hugging it as she went.
