But not every day did the girls spend in `` Breezy Inn . '' Sometimes they roamed in the woods , or went rowing on the river , and sometimes they visited at each other 's houses . One pleasant afternoon in late July , Marjorie asked Grandma if she might n't go to spend the afternoon at Stella 's . Mrs. Sherwood liked to have her go to Stella 's , as the influence of the quiet little girl helped to subdue Marjorie 's more excitable disposition , and about three o'clock Marjorie started off . Grandma Sherwood looked after the child , as she walked away , with admiring eyes . Marjorie wore a dainty frock of white dimity , scattered with tiny pink flowers . A pink sash and hair-ribbons were fresh and crisply tied , and she carried the pretty parasol Stella had given her on her birthday .
