id not know whether to laugh or to cry.

Mr. Peterkin and the little boys decided to stay at the farm till
Friday. But Agamemnon and Solomon John preferred to leave with Mr.
Sylvester, and to take their electrical machine and camera when they
came for Mr. Peterkin.

Mrs. Peterkin was tempted to stay another night, to be wakened once
more by the guinea-hens. But Elizabeth Eliza bore her off. There was
not much packing to be done. She shouted good-by into the ears of the
deaf old lady, and waved her hand to the foreign one, and glad to bid
farewell to the old men with their pipes, leaning against the porch.

"This time," she said, "it is not our trunks that were lost"--

"But we, as a family," said Mrs. Peterkin.
