If they don't
like me they can tell me to go home. I don't care so long as you and Tommy
dear, and Hazel, and cross, cranky Margery like me a little bit."
"We do like you," answered Harriet impulsively. "We will see that the
other girls do not misunderstand you altogether, if we can make them see
you as you really are."
"There goes a bell. What is it, fire?" demanded Jane, looking up
expectantly.
"Goodness no!" answered Harriet laughing. "That is the 'get-ready' bell.
We must hurry and prepare for dinner. You will want to change your gown,
will you not?"
"Change! Well, you watch Jane McCarthy. Where do they feed the animals?"
"In the tent with the blue flag. Be sure to be on time. Half past six,
remember," cautioned Harriet as the girls separated at Jane's tent. Jane
promised to be on time, then she disappeared into her tent.
Harriet and Tommy went directly to their own quarters where they washed
their hands and faces and rearranged their hair before going to dinner.
There was no necessity to dress as on week days all the girls were
required to wear their uniforms.
"I think there ith going to be thome fun in thith camp," observed Grace
from behind the towel with which she was rubbing her face.
"You mean with Jane?"
"Yeth, Crathy Jane."
"She is a good soul, but won't she shock some of these really nice girls
with her abrupt ways until they get to know her for the fine, big-hearted
girl that she is!"
