"Ball, ball,” she laughed, banging her stick on the floor. "Mommy. make Linda go away. She's spoiling our game," Laurie complained. "Just let her play a minute. dear," coaxed his mother. "She has nobody to play with, and after all. you are using her ball. Roll the ball slowly past her and see what she'll do.” Brenda tapped the ball and it rolled slowly toward Linda. She hit at it with her mallet. and. strangely enough, struck it so that it spun off under the table. She shrieked with laughter and crawled after it, saying. "Ball. ball." She threw it towards Laurie. He was enjoying the fun too. so rolled it back to her. He and Brenda did this three or four times. and Linda crowed and chatiered. "There's the sun. I see the sun! The shower is over," shouted Lau- rie. "Can we go out now?" "Yes, i suppose so." agreed Mrs. Page. "You can continue your ball game out on the lawn." As they hurried out. Brenda turned to Mrs. Page.
