CHAPTER IV.
BOXLEY HALL After consultation with various real estate agents, and after due consideration of the desirable houses they had to offer, Mr.Fairfield came to the conclusion that the Bigelow house, which Marian had suggested, was perhaps the most attractive of any.
And so, one afternoon, a party of very interested people went over to look at it.
The procession was headed by Patty and Marian, followed by Mr.Fairfield and Aunt Alice, while Frank and his father brought up the rear.

But as they were going out of the Elliotts' front gate, Laura Russell came flying across the street.
"Where are all you people going ?" she cried.

"I know you're going to look at a house.

Which one ?" "The Bigelow house," said Marian, "and I'm almost sure Uncle Fred will decide to take it.
