Most of the days were spent in making these little trips--sometimes in carriages, at others in the electric cars--and the evenings in wandering by moonlight along the board walk. There were various places of innocent amusement too--such as the Japanese garden and the piers, where seals and other curiosities were on exhibition. They found the table excellent and everything about the establishment homelike, neat, and refined, and their hostess so agreeable, so charming, that their only regret was that they saw so little of her--so many were the calls upon her time and attention. "She certainly must need an occasional rest," said Grandma Elsie one day, talking with Violet and the captain, "and we must invite her to pay us a visit in our southern homes." To that proposal both Captain Raymond and Violet gave an unqualified assent, saying that they would be pleased indeed to entertain her. A fortnight was spent there most pleasantly, after which the _Dolphin_ carried them up the coast to Bar Harbor, where we will leave them for the present.
