The Bobbsey Tins On Blueberry Island [Hardcover]

Well, Ruth, aren't you almost ready? Just a moment, Alice. I can't seem to get my collar fastened in the back. I wish I'd used the old-fashioned hooks and eyes instead of those new snaps. Oh, I think those snaps are just adorable! Oh, Alice DeVere! Using such an extreme expression! What expression, Ruth? 'Adorable!' You sometimes accuse me of using slang, and there you go- 'Adorable' isn't slang, retorted Alice. Oh, isn't it though? Since when? There you go yourself! You're as bad as I am. Well, it must be associating with you, then, sighed Ruth.
