Excerpt from Kristy's Surprise Party

Kristy was spending the day with her Aunt Lu. She had been all winter with her grandmother down in the village, and to-morrow she was going home to begin school again.

It was her birthday, and in honor of the occasion, she wore her prettiest white dress, and her daintiest blue ribbons, and at the moment my story begins, she was curled up on the bamboo lounge on the piazza reading a story. Kristy dearly loved stories.

She had not read her book half through, when, happening to look up, she saw several people coming up the path, for the summer cottage was in the woods, and there was no formal walk to it.
