Will you tell me what dresses to take, and can you give me any hints about fixing my things up? Of course, I have not the clothes that you and Elizabeth have, but if you will help me, I will try to do the best I can with my limited wardrobe.

White always looks well, even if it is simple. You have a couple of white dresses. They are laundered, I know. Take both of them along, you will need them for dinner dresses. Father always likes us to dress a little for dinner. He says it rests him to come home and see Mother and me with something pretty on, and we are quite ready to humor him. Then--I think--yes--I am sure that you had better wear your blue for a travelling dress. You'll not need anything else, for we shall be gone such a little time. Have you bright ribbons? Never mind if you haven't. We shall all draw on Mother's stock, she is used to that sort of thing, and doesn't mind a bit.

I must go down town today to buy a hat. Would you very much mind going with me to help?
gpt
Not at all. I just love to buy things, but Beth and I have been down town so often lately that Miss Newton may refuse permission.

I'll fix that part,
gpt
You will? How confidently you say that. Professor Newton is very nice, my dear, and I adore her, but I don't imagine that she is very easily 'fixed.'

I will go and speak to her now,

I wonder if Dolly's father would have sent Fred off at that age, she said to herself.

I am anxious to see Dolly's people. Shall I like them? Well, the vacation is not long, anyway.
