Answer: Rose Allison

Elsie had loved Rose Allison since the first book, when she learned Rose was a Christian, and they had Bible studies together.

2. How many siblings does Elsie gain in this book?

Answer: 2

Horace Junior was born in the fourth chapter, and until Elsie asked to whom the baby belonged, she didn't even know her step-mother had been pregnant. Her little sister, Rosebud, is born while they are traveling in Europe.

3. What is the name of the aunt whom Elsie visits in Lansdale?

Answer: Aunt Wealthy

Aunt Wealthy was actually Mr. Dinsmore's aunt, therefore Elsie's great aunt.

Harry Carrington once thought Elsie would make a good wife, but said nothing of it to her, and he married Sophy Allison.

Answer: Lottie King

Lottie was a bit wild and mischeivous, and one of my favorite characters.

Elsie disapproved of this, and told Lottie so.
