followed Mollie uncomplainingly. Then, as there seemed no sign of
their getting anywhere, Grace started to protest.
"Say, do you suppose she has any idea where she is going?" the latter
asked of Betty in a tone that was designed to reach Mollie's ear. But
before she could say anything more, Mollie herself swung jubilantly

"Here we are, girls!" she cried. "Now see if you ever saw anything so
pretty in all your lives."

scene. As they walked they had become more and more conscious of the
roaring noise made by rushing water, and now, ascending a small rise
of ground, they came full upon the majestic beauty of Moonlight Falls.
The falls fell full thirty feet, and at the foot of it the river was
churned into swirling, liquid foam that whirled around and around
again in a sort of mad race and then went rushing off down the river
in a shower of lacy spray.
It was wildly inspiring, exhilarating, and the girls thrilled with a
strange new emotion as they watched.
