You know the train leaves
at eight o'clock."
"Good-night, katydids and whippoorwills," murmured Don a little drowsily.
"We shall come back to hear you sing again next summer."
With that, two tired children crept upstairs and tumbled into bed; and
very soon they were in the Land of Dreams.
Home Again
[Illustration: Home Again]
The sunlight was streaming in at their bedroom windows, when Joyce and
Don awoke the next morning. They dressed quickly, and ran down to watch
Grandma pack their lunch for the trip home. At the breakfast table, they
talked of all the nice times they had had during the past few weeks; and
they promised to persuade Mother and Daddy to come with them to the farm
next summer.
When everything was ready, Grandpa lifted the little trunk to his shoulder
and carried it out to the car; and soon they were on their way. When
they reached the station Grandpa bought the tickets, checked the little
trunk, and gave the children a story book to read on the train. Dear
Grandpa and Grandma! They always knew just what to do to make the children
happy.
As the train whistled in the distance, Don caught Grandpa's hand and
held it tight.
