That it was occupied could be seen from a distance.

As she came up she found the small boy of yesterday awaiting her with a confident smile.
"We brought you something!" he announced without greeting.

"This is Jimmy and Belle--and we brought you a present." He offered a parcel wrapped in brown paper.
"Why, how lovely of you!" said Elnora.

"I supposed you had forgotten me when you ran away so fast yesterday." "Naw, I didn't forget you," said the boy.

"I wouldn't forget you, not ever! Why, I was ist a-hurrying to take them things to Jimmy and Belle.
My they was glad!" Elnora glanced at the children.
