About eight o'clock in the evening
Miss Jenny Ann knew that I carried it . '' For twenty-four hours , at odd intervals of time , Miss Jenny Ann , Lillian and Eleanor had walked up and down in front of their lodge , hoping and praying for the return of the wanderers . What did it matter if they stayed all the rest of their lives on the deserted island , if only Madge and Phyllis were with them ! About eight o'clock in the evening Miss Jenny Ann , who was patroling the woods near by , heard a faint halloo . A few minutes later two homesick and footsore girls stumbled into her arms . Several days had passed since Madge and Phil had returned . A big fire roared up the chimney .
