"Well, of all things!" ejaculated Martha. "Going to move, eh? You
don't say so! Where they going to move to?"
"Down on Orchard Avenue."
"Well, of all things! Nice house?"
"I don't know about that. I haven't heard. But there's lots of nice
houses on Orchard."
"Yes, but they're all taken," said Kate. "There isn't a vacant house
on Orchard Avenue."
"Oh yes, there is," said Martha. "The old Hampstead house is vacant."
"Oh, of course," said Kate. "But then I don't believe Mrs. Hannigan
would like it there. I wonder where they can be going to move to?"
"I'm sure I don't know," sighed Martha. "It must be to some place we
don't know about."
"Well." said Carrie Dungen, after a general reflective silence, "it's
easy enough to find out, anyhow."
"Who knows--around here?" asked Kate.
"Why, Mrs. Smith, and there she is in her garden," said Carrie,
jumping to her feet. As she dashed out of the door, Kate and Martha
crowded at the window. Carrie's voice rang out from near the steps.
"Mrs. Smith! Mrs. Smith! Do you know where the Hannigans are going to
move to?"
