hing she kept up her mischief about was that she _never_ has told us
where she hid.

We made a beautiful plan with Miss Cross-at-first--Judith, I mean. She
was to go with us to the station the next morning to meet mums and Hebe,
with the diamond brooch in a nice little box she found for it. And we
carried out the plan exactly. Mother _was_ astonished when she saw
Judith, and very pleased even before she knew what had happened. And she
thought us all looking _so_ well. No wonder we were all so happy, just
bursting to tell her.

And I _can't_ tell you how delighted she was, and how wonderful she
thought it. She sent off a telegram that minute--we went to the post
office on purpose--to gran, for he had really been so good about it. It
really seemed too much happiness to be all together again, and dear old
Hebe looking so well, and poor little sweet mums so bright and merry.

The rest of the time at Fewforest passed very jollily, though we had no
particular adventures. We've been there two or three times since, and
we like it extra much if it happens to be Miss Cross-at-first's turn at
the getting-well Home, for we've grown _awfully_ fond of her. We count
her one of our very most particular friends, and she sings _so_
beautifully.

That's all I have to write about just now. It seems to finish up pretty
well. I daresay I shall write more some day, for things are always
happening, unless being at school gets me out of the way of it. Perhaps
even if it does I'll write stories like father when I'm a man. If ever I
do, and if people like them (I'm afraid they'd never be anything like
his), it would be rather funny to remember that I was only eleven when I
wrote my first one--about the girls and me!
