¡°It¡¯s decided, then,¡± announced Dot. ¡°I¡¯m thrilled to death!... Oh, Linda, think of seeing Hollywood. The movies being made¡ªand the stars themselves! We¡¯ll have a marvellous time.¡±

¡°Be sure to take plenty of clothes,¡± cautioned Miss Carlton. ¡°You know how much they dress out there.¡±

¡°We¡¯ll outshine Lilyan Tashman herself!¡± promised Linda, thankful that her aunt was not raising any objection to the trip.

¡°Going to tell Ralph about it?¡± inquired Dot, as she rose to telephone to her mother.

¡°What¡¯s the use?¡± returned Linda. ¡°He wouldn¡¯t believe me. He¡¯d think I was going back to complete my contract. No; he¡¯s peeved¡ªlet him stay peeved. I¡¯d rather spend my evening planning our trip.¡±

¡°Flying comes first, as always,¡± observed Miss Carlton, in a resigned tone, as she, too, left the room, to do her part in making the trip comfortable for the two girls.When the boys drew near home, talking volubly all the time, as boys do, and wondering whether the poor man and his daughter had reached the manor before them, they met Humphrey, who was returning from Salisbury with the tailor and the new horse.

Ralph descried them some way off, and darted away like a hare, before Jasper and the groom had guessed the cause of his flight. Breathless the boy ran up to Humphrey, and could scarcely pour out the torrent of questions, mingled with ejaculations of pleasure and admiration, with which he overwhelmed the varlet, so scant of breath was he.

The horse was certainly a beauty, and did great credit to the taste and judgment of the worthy Abbot of Quarr.
