"Why, then he'll be with _little_ children," said Sprite, "and won't

CHAPTER VI

A DELIGHTFUL CALL


One Saturday morning, Rose skipped along the sidewalk on the way to
Aunt Judith's cottage. Her cheeks were very pink, and her eyes were
bright.

Uncle John was to take her with him in the big automobile that
afternoon, and they were to call, he said, on a very dear friend of
his.

"Do I know her?" Rose had asked.

"You _will_, when you see her," was the laughing reply.

"Is it some one I've seen?" she asked, her face alight with interest.

"Yes, and no," Uncle John said.
