When she _ did _ see Prudy again , -- the sister who pretended to love her so much , -- she would n't take the presents out of her trunk for ever so long , just to tease the naughty girl ! Meanwhile her father did not appear to be at all disturbed . `` Perhaps they have gone to the Islands , or somewhere else not far away , to spend the day . It is now nearly two o'clock .

Or would you prefer to go at once to your aunt Eastman 's ?
