"Will it be made of concrete?"
"Yes, and Mother says we may all help a lot in making the plans and in
deciding on the decoration and everything."
"Isn't she the darling! It will be the next best thing to building a
house yourself!"
"There will be a garage behind the house."
"A garage! Is Aunt Louise going to set up a car?"
"Just a small one that she can drive herself. Back of the garage there's
plenty of space for a garden and she says she'll turn that over to me. I
can do anything I want with it as long as I'll be sure to have enough
vegetables for the table and lots of flowers for the house."
"O, my; O, my; what fun we'll have," ejaculated Della, who knew that
Dorothy could have no pleasure that she would not share equally with the
rest of the Club.
"I came over now to see if you people didn't want to walk over there and
see it."
"This minute?"
"This minute."
"Of course we do--if Della doesn't have to take the train back yet?"
"Not for a long time. I'd take a later one anyway; I couldn't wait until
the Saturday Club meeting to see it."
"How did you know I'd suggest a walk there for the Saturday Club
meeting?"
"Could you help it?" retorted Della, laughing.
They timed themselves so that they might know just how far away from
them Dorothy was going to be and they found that it was just about half
way to Grandfather Emerson's.
