priceless blessing,--the one
thing we neither hoped nor expected to enjoy again in this world,--_each
other_!" He could not go on. He was very much moved. And as for the two
girls, they were utterly speechless under the pressure of feeling.

They remained standing at the gate, watching the two go down the street
in the sunset, and waved to them wildly as they turned to look back,
just before rounding the corner. And at last the intervening trees shut
them from sight.

When they were gone, Cynthia and Joyce turned and looked long and
incredulously into each other's eyes. They _might_ have made, on this
occasion, a number of high-flown and appropriate remarks, the tenor of
which would be easy to imagine. Certainly the time for it was ripe, and
beyond a doubt they _felt_ them! But, as a matter of fact, they indulged
in nothing of the sort. Instead, Joyce suddenly broke into a laugh.

"We'll never have to go in there by the cellar window again!" she
remarked.

"Sure enough!" agreed Cynthia. "What a relief that'll be!"

And so ended the adventure of the Boarded-up House!
