Mrs.Wood said that she would be very lonely without her two young people, and she kissed Miss Laura over and over again, and made her promise to come back again the next summer.
I was put in a box in the express car, and Mr.Wood told the agent that if he knew what was good for him he would speak to me occasionally, for I was a very knowing dog, and if he didn't treat me well, I'd be apt to write him up in the newspapers.

The agent laughed, and quite often on the way to Fairport, he came to my box and spoke kindly to me.

So I did not get so lonely and frightened as I did on my way to Riverdale.
How glad the Morrises were to see us coming back.

The boys had all gotten home before us, and such a fuss as they did make over their sister.

They loved her dearly, and never wanted her to be long away from them.
