That was why I chose it for our summer
camping place. I will ask the girls if they saw anything of the boat
you mention, but it is doubtful."
"Another thing. Oh, I'm not going to keep you here talking with me all
day."
"No; I want to go to thleep," interjected Grace.
"I saw a cabin down on that long point of land just this side of the
bay. What is it?"
"A fisherman's cabin. It is not occupied, nor has it been in a very
long time."
"Then why can't we Meadow-Brook Girls use it while we are in camp? I
should love to be down by the water, with the sea almost at my feet."
"I should think you would have had enough of the sea, after your
dreadful experience of last night," laughed Mrs. Livingston.
"I am fascinated with the sea. It is wonderful! Do you think we could
have the cabin?"
"I will consult with Miss Elting. If she thinks it wise, I will see
what can be done. Of course, it is a little farther from the camp than
I like. I prefer to have my girls where I can have an eye on them at
all times. But the Meadow-Brook Girls can be depended upon to take
care of themselves, save that they are too venturesome. Yes, I will
see what can be done."
"Oh, thank you ever so much," answered Harriet with glowing eyes.
