"Come on, King, let's go over and see Stella; we haven't seen her yet." "Miss Stella's gone to school," Carter informed them.

"I saw her go by with her books just before nine o'clock.

If so be ye fall in the river or anything, just you scream, Miss Marjorie, and I'll come and fish you out." "We don't fall in twice in one day," said Marjorie, with dignity, and the two Quaker ladies trailed away across the lawn.
They went down into the orchard, to pay a visit to Breezy Inn.

This was Marjorie's tree-house which Uncle Steve had had built for her the year before.
But the rope ladder was not there, so they could not go up, and they wandered on, half hoping they might meet somebody who would really think they were Quaker ladies.
