"Oh, my goodneth, I couldn't do that," exclaimed Grace.
"Each girl must do her part. The rules of the camp will be explained to
you to-morrow. But I am quite sure the Meadow-Brook Girls will make a
delightful addition to Camp Wau-Wau."
"We shall do our best, Mrs. Livingston," Harriet assured her with eyes
fixed on the face of the Chief Guardian.
"I am sure that you will," was the reply. "Miss Burrell, you and Miss
Thompson will occupy cots in the tent I showed to you as we passed along.
Your tentmates will be Patricia Scott and Cora Kidder. We are obliged to
place four girls in a tent now when we have so many of them with us, later
on two girls may arrange to occupy one tent if they desire to do so,
though the request is seldom made. Breakfast will begin at seven o'clock.
We like to have all our girls on hand promptly at that hour. Miss Brown
and Miss Holland will be your tentmates for the present, Miss Elting. I
think as soon as possible I shall place the Meadow-Brook Girls in one
tent. Would that please you?"
"Yes, indeed," cried the girls.
"Yeth, thank you. We're a clothe corporation, ath my father would thay."
"Grace's father is a lawyer," explained Miss Elting with a smile.
"I observe that she exhibits quite a legal trend of mind," laughed the
Chief Guardian.
