The advent of this apparently
lawless new girl had set every tongue wagging.
"Who is she?" asked girl after girl.
"She is a very dear friend of Miss Burrell, I believe," Cora Kidder
informed them. "Some strange people come out of Meadow-Brook, don't they,
girls?"
"Yes," agreed Patricia, "One hesitates to even remain in the same camp
with them. I am sure my parents wouldn't allow me to stay here if they
knew that such crazy girls were admitted."
Several girls turned their backs on Cora and Patricia and walked away, for
Harriet and her chums were becoming popular with the Camp Girls, whereas
there was a feeling of resentment developing against Patricia especially,
on account of her bad disposition and her readiness to condemn others--a
trait not to be tolerated for long in Camp Wau-Wau.
Another end pole had been brought and the collapsed tent put back in
place. All this was quickly done by the Camp Girls. Jane had watched the
operation with keen interest.
"Say, you girls are all right, aren't you? Did you see that, Dad?"
Mr. McCarthy nodded.
"You'll have to teach me how to put up a tent, I can run an automobile and
I can ride a horse, but that's about all Crazy Jane McCarthy knows how to
do except to make her father tear his hair with worry for fear she will
break her neck driving her car recklessly.
