to keep up with the gardener's long strides, as he carried
Marjorie to the house. But Molly was no coward, and she bravely
determined to go to the house with them, and confess to Mrs.
Sherwood that she was to blame for the accident.

But when they reached the door, and Grandma Sherwood came out to
meet them, she was so anxious and worried about Marjorie that she
paid little attention to Molly's efforts at explanation.

"What are you trying to say, child?" she asked hastily of Molly,
who was stammering out an incoherent speech. "Well, never mind;
whatever you have to say, I don't want to hear it now. You run
right straight home; and if you want to come over to-morrow to see
how Marjorie is, you may, but I can't have you bothering around
here now. So run home."

And Molly ran home.




CHAPTER IV

A PAPER-DOLL HOUSE


The result of Marjorie's fall from the roof was a sprained ankle.
It wasn't a bad sprain, but the doctor said she must stay in bed
for several days.
