Gaily we sing our motor car song!
Hooray, hooray!
For our holiday
May for the Maynards!

CHAPTER IV

VISITING A CAMP


Rockwell was soon left far behind, and the Maynards' car flew along the
country road, now passing through a bit of woods, and now through a
little town, or again crossing a picturesque brook.

The children were delighted with the new experience, and chatted all at
once, about the roadside sights.

Pompton, the English chauffeur, though he said little or nothing, was
secretly amazed at the gaiety and volubility of the young people. The
children were allowed to take turns sitting in the front seat, and, as
was their nature, they talked rapidly and steadily to the somewhat
taciturn driver.

"What a funny name you have, Pompton," said Marjorie, as she sat beside
him; "at least it seems funny to me, because I never heard it before."
