Adam, 3d, is to be over then, prepared to take me anywhere I want to go.

What I have to face now is a way to spend the night without letting the neighbours know that I am turned out.

How can I manage that ?" Nancy Ellen and Robert each began making suggestions, but Kate preferred to solve her own problems.
"I think," she said, "that I shall hide the telescope under the privet bush, there isn't going to be rain to-night; and then I will go down to Hiram's and stay all night and watch for Adam when he passes in the morning.

Hiram always grumbles because we don't come oftener." "Then we will go with you," said Nancy Ellen.

"It will be a pleasant evening walk, and we can keep you company and pacify my twin brother at the same time." So they all walked to the adjoining farm on the south and when Nancy Ellen and Robert were ready to start back, Kate said she was tired and she believed she would stay until morning, which was agreeable to Hiram and his wife, a girlhood friend of Kate's.
