"You can git that injunction vacated at once, Hen, if you want, and put
your axe-men right back into the Perkins Tract to work. That's what I
come 'round to tell ye."
Aunt Kate was moved to tears, an unusual expression of emotion on her
part. Being of pioneer stock, and having suffered much in the past,
Nan's aunt was not easily moved. Uncle Henry was delighted. It was a
great day for the Sherwoods.
It was another great day when, a week later, the roan ponies were
brought to the door and Nan's trunk was strapped upon the back of the
buckboard. Uncle Henry was to drive her to the train; but she would
travel alone to Chicago to meet her chum, Bess Harley.
"And go to Lakeview Hall! I never did really expect I'd get there," Nan
sighed, as she clung to Aunt Kate's neck. "It almost makes me forget
that Momsey and Papa Sherwood are not at home yet.
"But, my dear!" she added, "if such a thing could be, you and Uncle
Henry have taken the place of my own dear parents all these months I
have been at Pine Camp. I've had a dee-lightful time. I'll never forget
you all. I love you, love you, love you."
The roan ponies started on the jump. The boys cheered her from the
corner of the house, having bashfully remained in the background. Even
Margaret Llewellen and her impish brother, Bob, appeared and shrilly
bade her goodbye.
Nan was off for school, and wonderful adventures lay before her!
