Can't you throw on some water up there?
And tell all the people to go out on the balconies and we'll take 'em down
all right. And I say, Patty, get my camera out of my room, will you? I
don't want anything to happen to that."
"All right," said Patty, and she ran for the camera. In Bob's room she
found Miss Todd just waking up.
"Get up, Miss Todd," she cried; "the house is on fire and your Mr. Harris
is putting it out, and he says for you to jump out of the window."
"Oh," screamed Miss Fanny, hopping out of bed and rushing wildly around the
room, "which window?"
"Any window," said Patty, who was hunting in the closet for the camera.
So Miss Todd, half unconscious of what she was doing, but with a blind
intention of obeying the orders of her fiance, climbed over a window sill
and jumped out.
As a veranda ran all around the second-story of the Hurly-Burly, she found
herself standing just outside her window on a very substantial balcony and
feeling decidedly chilly in the night air.
"Here are some clothes," said Patty, grabbing up whatever came handy, and
putting them out the window to Miss Todd.
