Now do you keep quiet, and out of the way, while we are getting ready to go on board; and take a last look at this pretty place, and all its dear kind people.
And the dear kind dogs too, and the cat and the kittens.
* * * * * Now, come along, and bundle into the boat, if you have done bidding every one good-bye; and take care you don't slip down in the ice-groovings, as you did the other day.

There, we are off at last.
Oh, look at them all on the rock watching us and waving their handkerchiefs; and Harper and Paddy too, and little Jimsy and Isy, with their fat bare feet, and their arms round the dogs' necks.

I am so sorry to leave them all.
Not sorry to go home?
No, but--They have been so kind; and the dogs were so kind.

I am sure they knew we were going, and were sorry too.
Perhaps they were.

They knew we were going away, at all events.
