Wee and Patty, Sue and Angela followed silently. At her own door Blue Bonnet paused and held out her hand.
"I reckon I'll say good-by, girls," she said. "Carita and I are going over to the hotel to spend the night with Grandmother and Aunt Lucinda. Hope to see you next year, Sue, and you too, Wee." To Angela and Patty there were promises and instructions about writing. When the girls had passed on to their rooms Blue Bonnet turned and went back to Annabel. She opened the door softly. Annabel was sitting by the window where the girls had left her. Her head was buried in her hands and when she lifted it Blue Bonnet saw that her eyes were full of tears. She got up and came toward Blue Bonnet with outstretched arms.
"Is it good-by, Blue Bonnet?" she said.
"Not good-by, Annabel," Blue Bonnet answered bravely. "Not good-by—it's just—auf wiedersehen."
