"We can play together then, after we go back." The three children rapidly became good friends, and soon Ruth proposed that they all go for a ride in a roller chair.
"They have wide chairs," she said, "that will hold all three of us." Midget ran to ask her mother if they might do this, but Mrs.Maynard was not willing that the children should go alone.
"But Nannie and Rosamond may go, too, in another chair," she said, "and then I shall feel that you are looked after." So down to the Boardwalk they went, and Nurse Nannie and Rosy Posy took one chair, and the three children took another.

They selected a wide one which gave them plenty of room, and off they started.
It was a lovely, clear day, and the blue sky and the darker blue ocean met at the far distant horizon, with whitecaps dotted all over the crests of the waves.

A few ships and steamers were to be seen, but mostly the children's attention was attracted to the scenes on shore.
"I thought it was lovely last night," said Midget, "but it's even nicer now.

The booths and shops are so gay and festive, and the ladies all look so pretty in their summer frocks and bright parasols." They stopped occasionally, for soda water or candy, and once they stopped at a camera place and had their pictures taken in the rolling chairs.
King proposed this, because he saw a great many people doing it, and as the man finished up the pictures at once, the children were delighted with the postcards.
"I'll send one to Kit," said Midget, "she'll love it.

And I'll send one to Grandma Maynard." Ruth had several of the pictures, too, and she said she should send some to friends in Philadelphia.
"She's an awfully nice girl," said Marjorie to her mother, when telling of their morning's doings.
