Brewster, taking Anne by the arm and
leading her from the room.
CHAPTER VIII
ACCLIMATING THE CITY GIRLS
"Waiting for me, girls?" called Anne, joining her friends.
"We just got back from the barn," said Eleanor, showing the habits
which she had over her arms.
"Well, take them to the room and change your shoes. We must wear flat-
heeled boots for walking about this place, you know," returned Anne,
noting that Eleanor carried both habits--doing her sister's work for
her, as usual.
"Good gracious! I forgot to unpack the walking shoes. Won't these Cuban
heels answer?" cried Barbara, impatiently.
"They might answer for a twisted ankle," laughed Anne.
"Then we'll postpone the walk till to-morrow," said Barbara,
decisively.
"Not me! I'm going to the cliffs if I walk bare-footed. In fact, I'm
not so sure but that will be the most delightful thing to do," said
Eleanor, sitting down to unbutton her high-heeled shoes.
"Nolla! Stop disgracing us so!" cried Barbara, shocked.
"Well, I want to see those cliffs at close range. If you start for home
to-morrow--or maybe this afternoon, if you find the cliffs
disappointing--I can at least take back the remembrance of the
wonderful spot," pouted Eleanor.
To avoid the usual argument between the sisters, Anne quickly made a
suggestion. "Bob's feet seem to be about the same size as mine, and she
can have my tennis shoes for this walk.
