[Illustration: HE BOWED VERY POLITELY] YOUTH VOL. I JUNE 1902 No. 4 Priscilla and the Hopolanthus By Sidney Marlow Priscilla just laughed quietly to herself and lay perfectly still. Then Susette called again, but now you could tell from the sound that she had taken Grace and Halbert and gone further into the woods. Probably she had decided that Priscilla had run on ahead and would be waiting for them at the shaky little bridge or the old red saw mill. What a scare Susette would have when she reached the old mill and Priscilla wasn’t there? And what business had Susette to make such an awful fuss just because a person chose to eat quite a good deal of cake, and a pickle, and a rather large plate of ice cream at the same meal? They wouldn’t hurt Susette, anyway.
