Just as Mary Frances was finishing getting the lunch, the 'phone bell rang and Billy answered.
This is what Mary Frances heard:
"h.e.l.lo!"
"Yes!"
"Too bad, Father, can't you?"
"Well, I'll tell her, but I hate to, awfully. She's been hard at work all the morning."
"I?--Oh, I attended to the fire for her, then went upstairs to make those drawings."
"Oh, yes; I'll look after her, all right."
"Yes, she is--a regular 'brick!'"
"All right. Good-bye!"
"Sis!"
[Ill.u.s.tration: "h.e.l.lo!"]
"I know, Billy," Mary Frances sobbed. "I know!--Father can't come, and everything is ready. Oh, dear! Oh, oh,--de--ar!"
"Oh, I say, Sister," said Billy; "I'll pretend I'm Father--won't that do? And--oh, yes! I'll show you how to fold a napkin into 'Cinderella's slipper!'"
"Where did you learn how?" Mary Frances began to dry her tears.
"Not on land, and not on sea Did this knowledge come to me.
When I learned, I had on my hat-- Where was I? Now, riddle me that?
No, lady fair, not up in the air-- On a boat in the river."
[Ill.u.s.tration: "Oh, dear! Oh, oh,--de--ar!"]
"Silly Billy!" exclaimed Mary Frances. "Please show me the trick now, will you?"
"Yes," said Billy, "and then I'll eat Father's share, as well as mine, of a very 'grand' lunch--if my nose isn't deceiving me."
"Well," said Mary Frances, "that will help some; but please fold the napkin."
And Billy showed her this:
[Ill.u.s.tration: "I'll show you how to fold a napkin."]
[Ill.u.s.tration:
1. Fold napkin twice, making it fourfold. Make crease through the center, as shown in =Figure I=
2. Fold each end along _dotted_ line in =Figure I= over to center crease. Then the napkin will be in the form of =Figure II=
3. Fold napkin again along _dotted_ line in =Figure II= over to center.
Then it will look like =Figure III=
