Chapter XV
PUNISHMENT The Reading ladies had departed, and the younger guests of Dana Dene had also trotted homeward. “It’s too bad to take those things off of Eliza,” said Dolly, “she looks so pretty in ’em. Let’s take her, wheelbarrow and all, to show to the aunties.” “I’m ’fraid Aunt Nine will faint again,” objected Dick. “Oh, no, she won’t; it was the carving knife that scared her.”
