Tommy shook her head vigorously.

"I'm not," she declared, with a stamp of her foot. "I'm going to the
woodth and----"

"You ran away from us, you naughty girl," chided Miss Elting after having
greeted Mrs. Burrell and Harriet. Margery and Hazel had followed her in,
and were now shaking hands with Harriet, though it had been only a matter
of some two hours since last they met.

"I suppose Grace has told you all about it, Harriet. However, there may be
a few dry details left for me," continued Miss Elting with a severe frown
at Tommy.

"She hasn't told me anything. She has tried to tell me, but she is too
excited to be intelligible. Please tell me what it is all about. I am
anxious to hear the news."

"Let Grace tell it, now that she has begun," suggested Miss Elting,
nodding to the excited Tommy.

However, with the entrance of the teacher and the two girls, Tommy in her
haste to blurt out the full story had become hopelessly tangled. She
hesitated, stammered, then stopped short. There was a merry laugh at her
expense.

"I shall have to tell you after all, young ladies," said the teacher. "You
four girls, it has been decided, are to go with me to the summer camp in
the Pocono Woods. Do you know about the summer camp there, Harriet?"
