Mrs. Browne's Botany Class by Pansy

MRS. BROWNE and Ella were sitting upon the porch which ran along the front of their country home. They were waiting for the boys to come to the botany study. Mrs. Browne had decided to have her class at home, thinking that the heavy rain of the evening before must have made it very damp in the woods.

Tom had gone to the office, and Ben-well, Ben was somewhere. That is what they always said of Ben, "Oh! He is somewhere."
