At the candy table he purchased enough of the homemade bonbons to fill the baskets, and then they left the tent to start on the homeward trip.
The barge was waiting for them, and they clambered in, tired, but very happy.
"This is the nicest fair I ever went to," said Dorothy, "and I've had so many good things that I'm going to save my basket of candy until to-morrow."
"So am I," cried all the others.
"And so am I," said Uncle Harry, as he held up a huge basket filled with all kinds of candy.
How they laughed, and accused him of having a "sweet-tooth."
"Now, just a moment!" he cried, as he held up his finger for silence, "I'm taking this big basket home to treat the big ladies with. I took the little ladies with me, but I've not forgotten the big ladies that I left at the hotel."
"Because you don't ever forget any one," said Flossie, and the others cried:
"That's it! Just it! He does nice things for every one."
"Oh, spare my blushes," said Uncle Harry, but it was easy to see that their affection for him pleased him.
