I wonder if Grandmother Hunter 's reproachful spirit will forever haunt me if I do it . '' Doris knew very well that she would do it -- had known it ever since she had looked at that lovely lining and a vision of Penelope 's vivid face and red-brown hair rising above a waist of the quaint old silk had flashed before her mental sight . That night , after Penelope had gone to bed , Doris ripped the lining out of Grandmother Hunter 's silk quilt . `` If Aunt Adella saw me now ! '' she laughed softly to herself as she worked . In the three following evenings Doris made the waist . She thought it a wonderful bit of good luck that Penelope went out each of the evenings to study some especially difficult problems with a school chum . `` It will be such a nice surprise for her , '' the sister mused jubilantly . Penelope was surprised as much as the tender , sisterly heart could wish when Doris flashed out upon her triumphantly on the evening of the party with the black skirt nicely pressed and re-hung , and the prettiest waist imaginable -- a waist that was a positive `` creation '' of dainty rose-besprinkled silk , with a girdle and knots of black velvet . `` Doris Hunter , you are a veritable little witch ! Do you mean to tell me that you conjured that perfectly lovely thing for me out of the lining of Grandmother Hunter 's quilt ? '' So Penelope went to Blanche 's party and her dress was the admiration of every girl there . Mrs. Fairweather , who was visiting Mrs. Anderson , looked closely at it also . She was a very sweet old lady , with silver hair , which she wore in delightful , old-fashioned puffs , and she had very bright , dark eyes . Penelope thought her altogether charming . `` She looks as if she had just stepped out of the frame of some lovely old picture , '' she said to herself . `` I wish she belonged to me . I 'd just love to have a grandmother like her . And I do wonder who it is I 've seen who looks so much like her . '' A little later on the knowledge came to her suddenly , and she thought with inward surprise : Why , it is Doris , of course .
If my sister Doris lives XXXXX be seventy years old and wears her hair in pretty white puffs , she will look exactly as Mrs. Fairweather does now .
