“Surprise!” Phyllis said gaily.
Gale stared in amazement. Phyllis was in her own bed in their room in Sunshine Alley yet she hadn’t been there that morning. Doctor Norcot stood beside the bed smiling. Adele Stevens was on the other side.
“Phyl!” Gale stuttered. “What—why—how—my dear, I’m so glad to see you!”
“She wouldn’t give me a moment’s peace until I said she could come back here,” Doctor Norcot explained, smiling.
“I’ll get well twice as quickly here,” Phyllis declared. “I feel a hundred per cent better already.”
“Sunshine Alley will cure her,” Adele Stevens laughed.
When the doctor and Adele were gone Gale sat beside Phyllis and hugged her.
“Gee, I’m glad to have you back. If you hadn’t come soon I would be talking to myself.”
“Tell me everything that has happened in these weeks,” Phyllis demanded. “Who has done what and why?”
“Well, the teacher gave us a corking examination in Biology today but I don’t know why,” Gale laughed.
