Bob's, Mrs. Burns explained.

He is ten; we can't believe it. And he has set his heart on having Miss Linton at home for his party. He has read her little book almost out of its covers, and she has been doing some place-cards for his guests--the prettiest things!

So I have. I'm wondering what I'm to do when you are at Doctor Burns's and I at home.
gpt
I shall be there only a week if I keep on gaining as fast as I am now.

gpt
