"Because it's Home," said the Unwiseman.
"I guess-thassit," said Whistlebinkie.
"Well don't guess again, Fizzledinkie," said the Unwiseman, "because that's the answer, and if you guessed again you might get it wrong."
And so it was that Mollie and the Unwiseman and Whistlebinkie finished their trip abroad, and returned better pleased with Home than they had ever been before, which indeed is one of the greatest benefits any of us get out of a trip to Europe, for after all that fine old poet was right when he said:
"East or West
Home is best."
In closing I think I ought to say that the Unwiseman's umbrella turned up in good order the next morning, and where do you suppose?
Why up on the roof where the kind-hearted burglar had placed it to protect the Unwiseman's leak from the rain!
So he seems to have been a pretty honest old burglar after all.
