No one on shore, or on the steam-boat, seemed to have noticed Corny's dive.

Indeed, the whole thing was done so quietly, and was so soon over, that there was not as much of a show as the occasion demanded.
"I never before was in deep water that seemed so little like real water," said Corny, just before we reached the wharf.

"This was cold, and that was the only thing natural about it." "Then this is not the first time you've been in deep water ?" I asked.
"No," said Corny, "not the very first time;" and she scrambled up on the wharf, where her mother was standing, talking to some ladies.
"Why, Cornelia!" exclaimed Mrs.Chipperton, as soon as she saw the dripping girl, "have you been in the water again ?" "Yes, ma'am," said Corny, drawing her shoulders up to her ears, "and I must be rubbed down and have dry clothes as quick as lightning." And with this, she and her mother hurried on board the steam-boat.
Rectus and I went back on the lake, for we had not gone half over it when Corny went into it.

We had rowed about for half an hour or so, and were just coming in, when Corny appeared on the deck of the steam-boat, with a handkerchief tied around her head.
"Are you going to take a walk on shore ?" she called out.
"Yes!" we shouted.
"All right," said she; "if you'll let me, I'll go with you, for mother says I must take a good run in the sun.

I look funny, don't I?
but I haven't any more hats." We gave her a good run, although it was not altogether in the sun.
