Marjorie at Seacote

CHAPTER XIII
14/14

This was the prettiest prize of all, being a beautifully illustrated copy of Grimms' "Fairy Tales," and Hester was enchanted with it.

She took it eagerly, and never seemed to think for a moment that perhaps it wasn't quite fairly won; nor did she thank Marjorie for the assistance she gave.
Then they all went out to supper.

And such a supper as it was! The table was decorated with green four-leafed clovers, and gilt horseshoes, and black cats, and yellow new moons.

And every one had a little rabbit's foot, mounted like a charm, for a souvenir; and also a bright lucky penny of that very year.
And the sandwiches were cut like clovers, and the cakes like new moons, and the ice-cream was shaped like horseshoes, and everybody wished everybody else good luck all through Marjorie's thirteenth year.

And when the young guests went away they all sang: "Good luck, ladies; good luck, ladies; Good luck, ladies; We're going to leave you now.".
