to do any thing else we want to."

"Yes: I second the motion," she said.

"And I third it," added Grace. "Now, papa, you are laughing at me, and
so is Max. Wasn't that the right way to say it?"

"It was 'most as right as Lu's," said Max.

"And both will do well enough," said their father.

"I was going to ask if I might have Eva here to visit me to-morrow,
papa," said Lulu; "but she'll be busy with lessons in the morning too.
May I ask her to come in the afternoon?"

"Yes: you can ask her this evening; she will be here with the rest.

"Now I have something else to show you. Come with me."

He took Gracie's hand again, and led them to a small, detached building,
only a few yards distant,--a one-story frame, so prettily designed that
it was quite an ornament to the grounds.

The children exclaimed in surprise; for, though it had been there on
their former visit to Woodburn, it was so greatly changed that they
failed to recognize it.

"It wasn't here before, papa, was it?" asked Grace. "I'm sure I didn't
see it."
