"The Outdoor Girls on Pine Island Or, A Cave and What It Contained"

"
"Alice Jallow and her friend, Kitty Rossmore. They're always together,"
Betty answered, then added: "By the way, Mollie, it seems to me you were
just saying you had something good to tell."
"My aunt has a bungalow out on Pine Island. It's a lovely place, the
bungalow, I mean, not the island, although if all they say is true, I
shouldn't wonder if that's all right too."
"But, Mollie, what has that to do with us?" Grace interrupted. "Is she
going to ask you to make her a visit?"
"No. It's lots better than that. You see Uncle James wants to take her
to Europe this summer and so----"
"Oh, Mollie!" Betty interrupted, her eyes sparkling. "You don't

"Yes I do--exactly," and Mollie settled back with a contented sigh.
"I'm afraid I am very stupid to-day," Grace remarked.
"More than usual?" asked Will, the irrepressible, with a twinkle in his
eye.
"Why don't you see, Grace?" Betty's face was radiant. "Can't you see
Mollie means that we are to occupy that vacated bungalow this summer?"
"But please, girls, don't get your minds made up to it yet, for nothing
is really settled, you know.
