Explore "A Borrowed Sister" by Eliza Orne White on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
School began on the Monday after Labor Day, and so Jessie came back in time for Lois's birthday. Lois was delighted to see her, although she and Ellen had had such a good time together that she had not missed Jessie half so much as she thought she should. One morning at school Ellen said, "The vegetables are ripe in Anne's and my garden, and mother says I can ask you and Jessie to tea on your birthday."
"What a lovely thing it is to have a witch kitten in the house! " Lois exclaimed enthusiastically. "I am sure that is why the vegetables got ripe just in time for my birthday."
