Marjories's Vacation by Carolyn Wells — Read

During August the weather became excessively hot. Grandma Sherwood / managed to keep the house cool by careful adjustment of awnings, / blinds, and screens, but out-of-doors it was stifling.

Midge and Molly did not mind the heat much, and played out of doors all / day, but Stella wilted under the sun's direct rays, and usually her / mother kept her indoors until the late afternoon.
