`` Say , girls , I 'm mighty glad to see you . How long are you to stay ? A week ? '' `` We are going back to Glenmore Saturday , '' Dorothy said , `` and we start at nine in the morning . There is no one at the Stone House but the servants , and it was so lovely to come home with Vera . '' `` It surely was the best thing that you could do , '' Rob replied earnestly , for he knew by a slight quiver in her voice that Dorothy was a bit homesick . Nancy heard the odd little quiver when Dorothy was speaking , and she hastened to speak of cheery things .
