we have some older person along. But Cecilia - she is old or
young, just as it suits her."

"There's Bess and Belle!" exclaimed Maud, as the Robinson twins'
runabout swerved into the avenue.

"And there are Jack - and Cecilia!" Daisy fairly gasped the words.

At that instant the two last named persons, in Jack's little car,
came up to the turn. Cecilia looked almost pretty - even her
critics admitted that, secretly. Of course, Jack was always
handsome.

"I wonder how Bess feels," remarked Daisy with scornfully curled
lip.

"She thinks a lot of Jack," replied Maud, as both bowed to the
occupants of the runabout.

"Where do you suppose they are going?" went on Daisy.

"Oh, probably to see about having the old car fixed up. Of
course, when she got Jack to fetch it she will manage to have him
attend to the rest."

Bess and Belle were now abreast of the girls on the sidewalk. The
twins bowed pleasantly, while the others nodded in return.

"I wish mother had not gone to town this morning," said Daisy. "I
would just like to see where they are all going."
