d the crows had been.

But no squirrels were there.

So the two little boys wandered on through the thin woods, looking for
squirrels, and sometimes the cat was with them and sometimes she
wasn't, and at last they were just behind Dickie's house, for the new
house was his house now.

And they looked up and saw the vans just starting away, and the horses
were trotting.

They watched until they couldn't see the vans any longer, and they
heard them turn the corner.

"I guess I've got to go," said Dickie then.

"Why have you got to go?" David asked. "Aren't you going to live in
that house?"

"Yes," Dick said, "I am, but we're going back for to-night. To-morrow
the maids will have it all ready, and we'll come and bring my mother
and my baby sister."

"Oh," said David.

That was the first time Dick had told him that he had a baby sister.

Dick had already started up to his house, but he stopped and turned
around.

"Good-bye, David," he said.

"Good-bye, Dick," said David.

And Dick turned again and hurried to the new house, but David stood,
holding the handle of his cart and looking after him.

And he saw Dick's father come around the corner of the house and take
Dick by the hand.

Then Dick's father stood for a minute looking at the house, as if he
was afraid that he had forgotten something.

But he couldn't think of anything, and he and Dick began to walk away,
and Dick was talking to his father and his father was smiling.

David stood still, watching them, until he couldn't see them any
longer.

Then he began to gallop along toward his house, dragging his cart, and
his shovel and his hoe rattled like everything in the bottom of it;
and his cat ran on ahead, with her bushy tail sticking straight up in
the air.

And that's the end of this book.
