'' '' 'T is n't . It 's not more than half an hour since Uncle George and Aunt Bella went . I 'll have you ready in a twinkling . '' `` But the fire -- and the children ! '' `` I 'll stay here and look after both . I wo n't burn the house down , and if the twins wake up I 'll give them -- what is it you give them -- soothing syrup ? So go at once and get you ready , while I fly over for the dress . I 'll fix your hair up when I get back . '' Margaret was gone before Aunt Beatrice could speak again . Her niece 's excitement seized hold of her too . She flung the stockings into the basket and the basket into the closet . `` I will go -- and I wo n't do another bit of darning tonight . I hate it -- I hate it -- I hate it ! Oh , how much good it does me to say it ! '' When Margaret came flying up the stairs Aunt Beatrice was ready save for hair and dress . Margaret cast the gown on the bed , revealing all its beauty of jetted lace and soft yellow silk with a dextrous sweep of her arm .
Aunt Beatrice gave a little cry XXXXX admiration .
