Blue Bonnet looked properly shocked.
"Fortunate you didn't run into any one," she remarked.
"But I did! A nice lady who was trying to find Madam de Cartier. We fell—all in a heap!"
The morning of the first of April broke clear and calm.
"Even the weather is on my side," Blue Bonnet said. "I ought to be the very happiest girl in the world—and I am!"
It was a busy time at the school; a general breaking up for spring vacation. In the halls girls scurried in every direction and hasty good-bys were said; trunks were carried out noisily by careless expressmen to the vans that stood waiting outside.
"Terribly exciting, isn't it?" Sue said, passing Blue Bonnet in the hall shortly after breakfast. "I'm so glad Annabel and I are staying over until Monday. Has your uncle arrived yet?"
"I'm just watching for him. He should be here in about ten minutes. I'm keeping my eye on the front door—oh, Sue, there's a ring now; perhaps it's he! It is! It is!"
And the next moment Blue Bonnet was folded in her uncle's arms.
