'Lizebeth on the Warpath On the following morning 'Lizebeth stood full of expectation at the kitchen door, and made all kinds of signs when Sally came rushing into the living-room from breakfast.

The signs were indeed understood by the child but she had no time to go to the kitchen.

She waved her school-bag and shouted in rushing by 'Lizebeth: "When I come from school; it is too late now!" Followed by Edi and Ritz she continued her run.
Something very particular must be in preparation, for after school all the scholars were standing again in a dense circle, beating their hands in the air and shouting as loud as they could, to have their views heard.

Sally, who had waited a few moments for her brothers, went on home for she knew how long such meetings were apt to last and that her brothers would only arrive home when the soup was being served.

Sally stepped into the house and with her school-bag in her hand she went straight to the kitchen.
"Now I will tell you everything that happened yesterday, 'Lizebeth," she said.
'Lizebeth nodded encouragingly and Sally began, and became more and more excited the longer she talked.
