Upon leaving the supper table the whole company resorted to the deck, where most of them spent the evening, being very weary with the sight-seeing of the day and finding restful seats there and a view of much that was interesting and enjoyable.

Chester and his brother left early to take an evening train for the South.
"I am sorry for you that you must leave without having seen everything at the Fair, Chester," Lucilla said in bidding him good-by, "but we can't any of us stay the necessary forty-two years.

I'll see all I can, though, and give you a full account of it after I get home; that is, if you care to come over to Woodburn and hear it." "You may be sure I will and thank you, too," he returned, giving the pretty white hand she had put into his an affectionate squeeze.

"Good-by.
I'm glad you have your father to take good care of you." "So am I," she said, with a happy laugh; "I'm sure there's no better caretaker in the world." It was somewhat later before the others went and Lucilia, sitting a little apart from them, watched furtively the behavior toward each other of the newly engaged couples.
"A penny for your thoughts, Lu," said Violet, coming up from seeing her little ones in bed, and taking a seat by Lucilla's side.
"Really, they are not worth it, Mamma Vi," laughed the young girl.

"I was watching Rosie, and wondering how she could ever think of leaving such a dear mother as hers to--marry and live with even so good and agreeable a young man as Mr.Croly." "And what do you think of my leaving that very mother (the very best and dearest of mothers she is, too) for a husband when I was a full year younger than Rosie is now ?" returned Violet, with a mischievous twinkle of amusement in her eyes.
"Oh, that was to live with papa--the dearest and best of men! I can see how one might well forsake father and mother and everybody else to live with him." "I agree with you," said Violet.
