"Do we not ?" appealing to the others.
"Oh yes, yes!" they cried, "a summer at the seashore, by all means." "In a cottage home of our own; shall it not be, papa ?" added Elsie.
"Your mamma decides all such questions," was his smiling rejoinder.
"I approve the suggestion.

It is far preferable to hotel life," she said.
"Molly, my child, you are the only one who has not spoken." Molly's bright face had clouded a little.

"I want you all to go and enjoy yourselves," she said, "though I shall miss you sadly." "Miss us! do you then intend to decline going along ?" Molly colored and hesitated; "I'm such a troublesome piece of furniture to move," she said half jestingly, bravely trying to cover up the real pain that came with the thought.
"That is nothing," said Mr.Travilla, so gently and tenderly that happy, grateful tears sprang to her eyes; "you go, of course, with the rest of us; unless there is some more insuperable objection--such as a disinclination on your part, and even that should, perhaps, be overruled; for the change would do you good." "O Molly you will not think of staying behind ?" "We should miss you sadly," said Elsie and Vi.
"And if you go you'll see Dick," suggested Eddie.
Molly's heart bounded at the thought.

"Oh," she said, her eyes sparkling, "how delightful that would be! and since you are all so kind, I'll be glad, very glad to go." "Here comes grandpa's carriage.

I'm so glad!" exclaimed Herbert, the first to spy it as it turned in at the avenue gate.
