Or we can put ourselves in the hands of the guide
and say that we'd like to see the ten exhibits that the Museum looks
upon as the choicest."
"Either way would be wonderful!" beamed Ethel Blue, and the three girls
promised themselves the delight of reporting Mrs. Emerson's offer to
the Club at its next meeting.
The homeward trip was made by a route quite different from the one by
which the party reached Boston. Grandfather proposed it at breakfast
on the morning of the day on which they had intended to leave in the
afternoon.
"Are you people very keen on this drive through the Park System
to-day?" he asked.
The girls did not know what to say, but Mrs. Emerson scented a new idea
and replied "not if you have something to suggest that we'd like
better."
"How would you like to trolley back to New York?"
"Trolley back to New York!" repeated the girls with little screeches of
joy. "All the way by trolley? How long will it take? I never heard
of anything so delightful in all my life!"
After such a quick and satisfactory response Mr. Emerson did not need
to lay his plan before them in any further detail.
