About the Book
CHAPTER I THE OLD NEWSPAPER There, I think I have everything in that Ill need at Oak Farm. Everything! Good gracious, Ruth, how quickly you pack! Why, Ive oceans and oceans of things yet to go into my trunk! Oh, there are my scout shoes. Ive been looking everywhere for them. Ill need them if I do any hiking in those war scenes, and Alice DeVere dived under a pile of clothing, bringing to light a muddy, but comfortable, pair of walking shoes. I dont know what Id do without them, she murmured. Alice! cried Ruth, her sister, and the shocked tone of her voice made the younger girl look up quickly from the contemplation of the shoes. Why, what have I done now? came in rather injured accents. Im sure I didnt use any slang; and as for not having all my things packed as quickly as you, why, Ruth, my dear, you must remember that you are an exception—the one that proves the rule. I didnt say you used any slang, Alice dear. Nor did I intimate that you were behind in your packing. Ill gladly help you. But it—— Those shoes! and she pointed a finger dramatically at the brogans, as Alice sometimes called them. Those shoes? Whats the matter with them? Theyre a perfectly good pair, as far as I can see; and theyre mighty comfortable. Oh, Alice—mighty? Well, I cant get over using such words, especially since we heard so many strong expressions from the sailors when we were in those sea films. Mine sound weak now. But whats the matter with the shoes, Ruth? Theyre so muddy, dear. They will soil all your pretty things if you put them in your trunk in that condition. You dont want that, do you? I should say not—most decidedly! Especially since pretty things with me last about one day. I dont see how it is you keep yours so nice and fresh, Ruth. Its because Im careful, dear. Careful! Bosh! Care killed a cat, they say. Im sure Im careful, too—— Oh, heres that lace collar Ive been looking everywhere for! She made a sudden reach for it, there was a ripping, tearing sound, and Alice was gazing ruefully at a rent in the sleeve of her dress. Oh, for the love of trading stamps! she ejaculated. Alice! gasped Ruth. Well, I dont care! I had to say something. Look at that rip! And I wanted to wear this dress to-day. Oh—— Thats just it, Alice, interrupted Ruth, in a gentle, chiding voice. You are too impulsive. If you had reached for that lace less hurriedly you wouldnt have torn your dress. And if you took care of your things and didnt let your laces and ribbons get strewn about so, they would last longer and look fresher. I dont want to lecture—— I know you dont, you old dear! and Alice leaned over—they were both sitting on the floor in front of trunks—and made a motion as though to embrace her sister. But a warning rip caused her to desist, and, looking over her shoulder, she found her skirt caught on a corner of the trunk. There! Did you ever? she cried. I cant even give you a sisterly hug without pulling myself to pieces.... About the Author
