"Well, I'm sure we'll miss the six little Bunkers when they go," said Mr. Hixon.
"Indeed we shall!" said Grandma Bell. "But they are coming to see me again."
"We love it here," put in Vi.
"And we've had lots of fun," added Margy.
"Maybe we'll have fun at Aunt Jo's," said Laddie.
"I'm sure you will. I guess you could have fun anywhere, you six," said Mr. Hixon with a laugh. "Well, good-bye, if I don't see you again!"
"Good-bye!" said the others.
"Good-bye," echoed the parrot.
Grandma Bell, Mother Bunker and the four children went back to the shady cove of the lake.
"Where'd you go?" asked Russ and Rose, who were walking along to meet them.
