"We agreed to that this morning." "But we are to stay at Ashbury two or three days," Laura added.
"Dad has been making arrangements for us at the hotel there, and he calls it a fine summer place.

We know some people who are stopping there now, so we are going to have a pleasant little time of it, I expect.

When do you reach Ashbury, Dick ?" "To-night," Prescott answered.
"Mother," Laura went on, "aren't you going to invite the boys to luncheon at the hotel tomorrow ?" "I shall be delighted to do so, if they will accept," replied Mrs.Bentley smiling.
"We'd cause a sensation in the hotel, wouldn't we ?" laughed Danny Grin, looking down ruefully at his dusty "hike clothes." "You have other clothing with you, haven't you ?" asked Susie Sharp.
"Nothing better than what we're wearing now," Greg replied.
"Come, just the same, anyway," urged Mrs.Bentley.

"You boys are on a rough trip, and you're not expected to have large wardrobes with you.

So I shall expect you all at the Ashbury Terraces by noon to-morrow." "And there's to be a dance there to-morrow night," Belle continued, a trifle mischievously.
