"Papa, I wish we might go back to the Fair directly after supper and spend the evening there," Lucilla said, as again they stood on the _Dolphin's_ deck.
"I want so much to see the lighting up of the Court of Honor, then go to the wooded island to see it with the lamps lighted; after that to the Ferris Wheel again, to have the view from it by moonlight." "Anything more, my child ?" returned the captain, with his pleasant smile. "I think it likely that may do for one evening, sir," she replied; "unless my father wants to take me somewhere else." "I think we will then come back through the Court of Honor and go to our beds," he said; "that is, should we make the visits proposed, which will depend at least somewhat upon the wishes of others.
Violet, my dear, how does that programme suit you ?" "I really do not know of any way of spending the evening that I should enjoy more," answered Violet.
"Indeed Lu and I were talking together of our desire to see those sights, not longer ago than yesterday.
And you, mother, would like it, would you not ?" she asked, turning to Grandma Elsie. "Very much!" was the reply.
