Muybe because Father Isn't here, for one thing. He wrote very polite and asked us to come to get our things, and be said be was going to New York on busiuess for several days, so Mother need not fear he should annoy her with his presence. Then, another thing. Mother's queer. This morning she was singing away at the top o f her voice and running all over the house picking up things she wanted; and seemed so happy. But this afternoon I found her down on the floor In the library crying as i f her heart would break, with her head In Father's big chair before tbe fireplace. But she Jumped up the minute I came In and said, no, no. she didn't want anything. She was Just tire d ; that’s nil. And when I asked her If she was sorry, after all, that she was going to Boston to live, she said, no. no. no. Indeed, she guessed she wasn't. She was Just as glad as glad could be that she was going only ahe wished Monday would hurry up and come so we could be gone. And that's all. It's a Saturday now, and we go Just day after tomorrow. Our trunks are 'most packed, and Mother says she wishes she'd planned to go today. I've said good-bye to all the girls, and promised to write loads of letters about Boston and every thing. They are almost as excited as I aiu; and I'v e promised, "cross my heart and hope to die," thut 1 won’t love those Boston girls heller than 1 do them— specially Carrie Heywootk of course, my dearest friend. Nurse Sarah Is hovering around everywhere, asking to help, and pre tending «lie's sorry we're goiug. But she isu't sorry. She's glad. 1 know she Is. She never did appreciate Mother, and she thinks she’ll have ev erything her own way now. But she won't. 1 could tell her a thing or two If 1 wanted to. But I shan't. Father's sister. Aunt Jane Anderson, from St. l ’aut. Is coming to keep house for him. partly on account of Father, and partly on account of me.

But I did. And now Aunt June Is com ing. M y! how mad Nurse Sarah would be If she knew. But she doesn't. I guess I'll end this chapter here and begin a fresh one down In Boston. Oh, I do so wonder what It'll be like— Boston, Mother's home, Grandpa Des mond. and all the rest. I'm so excited l can hardly wait. You see. Mother uever took me home with her but once, and then I was a very small child. 1 don’t know why. hut I guess Father didn't want me to go. It's safe to say he didn't, anyway. He never wants ma to do anything, hardly. That's why I suspect him of not wanting me to go down to Grandpa Desmond's. And Mother didn't go only once. In ages. Now this will he the end.
