Chapter V
"THE JOLLY SANDBOY" The Sand Club was not very strict in its methods or systems. Some days it met, and some days it didn't. Sometimes all the court was present, and sometimes only three or four of them. But everything went on harmoniously, and there were no exhibitions of ill temper from the Sand Witch. In fact, Hester was absorbed in doing her part toward the first number of _The Jolly Sandboy_.
