"Well, from its title it sounds rather quiet, but we won't have much time for speculation, and as you say we may run up on something quite exciting during our visit to the woods!"
They chatted away merrily for awhile, until almost before they could realize the distance had passed so quickly, they were at their destination, while a voice was calling—"all off for Land's End!"
Nora, Janey, Beth and Alice, Harry and Don, sprang to their feet in surprise, while eagerly peering into the dusk of the outside, to catch a glimpse of the scene awaiting.
A sudden jolt warned them that the trip was over and gathering up their bundles they began to pile out.
They were greeted at the train steps by a friendly man, who took them at once to a car not far distant.
"Is this Land's End?" Don inquired.
"It is indeed," laughed their pilot, "did you imagine we all had to walk out here?"
"I—I—really didn't know," Don replied, trying to be polite, while sticking to the truth.
"I thought perhaps it might be the end of the world!"
Small Alice suddenly joined in the conversation from her corner, half hidden by packages and suit cases; after that the tension was over and they all talked merrily as they glided along.
