The work of the quartette of Lady Bountifuls by no means ended with the Goronofskys . Not a tenant of the Stower Estate was missed . Even Mrs. Kranz herself was remembered by the Corner House girls , who presented her , in combination , a handsome shopping bag to carry when she went downtown to the bank . It was a busy afternoon and evening they spent on Meadow Street -- for they did not get home to a late supper until eight o'clock . But their comments upon their adventures were characteristic . `` It is _ so _ satisfactory , '' said Ruth , placidly , `` to make other people happy . '' `` I 'm dog tired , '' declared Agnes , `` but I 'd love to start right out and do it all over again ! ''
