Up to this time Grace had been made
speechless by Mollie's sudden recovery. "You are shivering so you
can't sit still."
"It makes me cold just to look at you," added Amy,
"Don't be foolish, honey," said Betty impatiently. "You can't sit
there all day in dripping clothes, and besides you will really get
cold."
"Humph," grunted Mollie, getting to her feet rather unsteadily and
shaking out her sodden skirts. "I guess this isn't the first time I
have taken a dip in cold water. And besides," she added impatiently;
"I don't know about you girls, but I would like to know just what that
thing was that we saw dart beneath the falls."
"That was what made you fall into the water, wasn't it?" asked Betty,
her forehead wrinkling thoughtfully. "You leaned so far out to
see----"
"Yes, yes," Mollie interrupted impatiently, all her curiosity revived.
"That was what made me fall into the water all right. But what I want
to know is-- what was it?"
"I don't know," said Betty, shaking her head. "I didn't see it."
"Neither did I," Grace added.
