DOTTY DIMPLE OUT WEST.
CHAPTER I. STARTING.

Dotty Dimple watched it from the window with feelings of peculiar
pleasure. "I should think that old sun would wear out and grow rough round the
edges. Why not? Last week it was ever so dull; now it is bright. I

the cars; and I'd like to hear you talk, Prudy, too!" As Dotty spoke, the faintest possible shadow flickered across her
radiant face; but it was only for a moment. She could not have quite
everything she wanted, because she could not have Prudy; but then they
were to take a basket of cold boiled eggs, sandwiches, and pies; and
over these viands, with a napkin between, were two picture books and a
small spy glass. There was a trunk with a sunshade in it, and some
pretty dresses; among them the favorite white delaine, no longer stained
with marmalade... Continue reading book >>
