Bert led Trudy away, and laughingly put her back in her own room.
Then he went to Dolly’s door.
“All right, Dot? Honestly?”
“Yes, yes, YES! Oh, isn’t it grand!”
And then Dotty told of her telephone talk with Bernice, and how Mr. Forbes had willingly agreed to let Mr. Fayre stay in the New York office, and continue to live in Berwick.
“Hooray!” cried Bert, grabbing off the two girls’ caps and flinging them to the ceiling. “Hadn’t a cap on, so had to take yours! I say, you two are bricks! How ever did you do it?”
“Tell you all about it to-morrow,” said Dotty smiling. “We must get off to the carnival now, if we’re going at all.”
“Hold on,” said Dolly, still a little bewildered with delight. “I must tell Dad and Mumsie!”
“Of course,” said Dotty, “and Trudy, too.”
The joyful news was spread abroad, and great rejoicing was in the house of Fayre.
