[Marjorie at Seacote by Carolyn Wells]@TWC D-Link bookMarjorie at Seacote CHAPTER XV 7/15
Nurse Nannie and Rosy Posy were on the porch waiting, the little one greatly excited at thought of the journey. "Oh, what a grand Ourday, Father!" cried Midget, giving him one of her most ferocious "bear hugs." "We have so much vacation down here, I thought we wouldn't catch any Ourdays!" "Well, this is an extra thrown in for good measure.
I suppose you don't care, Midget, which car you ride in ?" "Not a bit! We keep together, don't we ?" "Yes, as much as possible.
Cousin Jack will drive his own car, and Pompton, of course, will drive ours." "It all happened so swift I can hardly realize it," said Kitty.
"Only a minute or two ago I was making cake in the kitchen, and now here I am!" "Making _what_ ?" asked King, teasingly, but when he saw Kitty look red and embarrassed he turned the subject. Kitty had told her mother about the cake episode, but Mrs.Maynard said it was an accident due to inexperience, and nothing further need be said about it. "I'll divide up the passengers," said Cousin Jack as, with the two cars standing in front of the door, no one knew just which to get in. "Ethel and I will take Marjorie and King with us, for I think Kitty will want to ride with her mother, and Babykins, too." "All right," agreed Mr.Maynard, and then he packed Uncle Steve and Mrs. Maynard and Kitty on the back seat, Nannie and Rosamond next in front, and he climbed up beside Pompton. Some suitcases and a basket of light luncheon were stowed away, and off they started, Ellen and Sarah waving to them from the steps as they flew down the drive.
It was a perfect day for motoring.
