“Now I know it is time to go,” Carol said. “When Janet quotes Shakespeare things will begin to happen.”
The car rattled and wheezed as it began to move.
“Hey, hold everything,” Phyllis called to Gale. “Here comes Loo Wong.”
Once more their departure was halted. Loo Wong had packed a lunch and he proceeded to present it to Janet with a low bow and a wide grin.
“Loo Wong wish many happiness. Bid all tloubles goodbye fo’lever.”
“Same to you, Loo Wong, and many of ’em,” Janet declared. “Girls, what would we have done without Loo Wong?”
“We couldn’t do without him,” Carol declared. “He makes the best pancakes I’ve ever eaten.”
“Don’t forget how to make fudge, Loo Wong,” Valerie called.
The Chinaman bobbed up and down, hands hidden in wide sleeves and his face wreathed in smiles.
“This time it is really goodbye,” Gale called. “Don’t forget to write, Virginia!”
