The day of days had come at last: Dorothy would be the Daughter of the Regiment. "Lucky you don't have to curl your hair, Doro, for the fog is like rain, and that's the worst kind for made curls," said Tavia. "Oh, I do hope it is not going to rain!" "No, it surely won't. But come, don't let's be late." "There's heaps of time, Tavia. Oh, just see Briggs' new flag! Isn't it glorious?" cried Dorothy Dale. "Not half as glorious as your old Betsy Ross. I'd be too proud to march if I had a real, truly Betsy. I think, anyway, it's prettier with the star of stars than with the regular daisy field of…mehr

The day of days had come at last: Dorothy would be the Daughter of the Regiment. "Lucky you don't have to curl your hair, Doro, for the fog is like rain, and that's the worst kind for made curls," said Tavia. "Oh, I do hope it is not going to rain!" "No, it surely won't.

I'd be too proud to march if I had a real, truly Betsy. I think, anyway, it's prettier with the star of stars than with the regular daisy field of them," and Tavia tied her scarf just once more, that being the fourth time she had smoothed it out and knotted it over.
Autorenporträt
Volumes 1 through 11 of the Dorothy Dale series were ghostwritten by Lilian Garis, volumes 9 through 12 by W. Bert Foster, and volumes 13 by Elizabeth Duffield Ward. A few series written by Cupples & Leon under the alias "Margaret Penrose" are published by the Stratemeyer Syndicate. The Dorothy Dale series (1908-1924), the Syndicate's first lengthy series featuring a female protagonist, was the first to utilize this name. The Motor Girls series (1910-1917), a rival to the popular Motor Boys series (1906-1924), also took the moniker in response to this success. The latest new series to bear this moniker was the Radio Girls series (1922-1923). In 1930, the show was converted into a Campfire Girls series after being sold to Goldsmith. The Burglar's Daughter was one "Margaret Penrose"-an authored book that was not a Stratemeyer Syndicate publication (Jordan, Marsh, 1899). It was a coincidence that both pen names were from the Syndicate.
