"It doesn't make a bit of difference in my love to him," she said, "for I always loved him as if he were my brother." "And now, Primrose," said Arthur, "you are mistress of this house, and please remember that visitors are coming here presently, and that you are to entertain them." "Are we always to live with you, Arthur ?" asked Jasmine.

"It seems better than a dream.

Oh, Arthur," she continued, not waiting for her brother's reply, "don't you remember how we made friends the very first moment we met?
we must have always known, deep down in our hearts, that we were brother and sister." "And this is to be our new Palace Beautiful," said Daisy, "and Poppy is to live here too.

Oh, Primrose, do you not feel almost too happy ?" "I've given up my independence," said Primrose, "and yet I never felt more happy or more thankful." The party that evening was a success.

The astonishment of the good ladies from Penelope Mansion when they heard the wonderful news passed all bounds.
