And I'd try to please Father, and make him not mind my being there, even if I couldn't make him love me.

And as I got to thinking of it, I was _glad_ that I had on the Mary things, so I wouldn't have to make any change.

Then I could show Aunt Jane that I was really going to be Mary, right along from the start, when she met me at the station.

And I would show Father, too, if he was at home.

And I couldn't help hoping he _would_ be home this time, and not off to look at any old stars or eclipses.
When we got to Andersonville, and the train rolled into the station, I 'most forgot, for a minute, and ran down the aisle, so as to get out quick.
