I shall try to find someone who is going the whole way to Edinburgh, darling, Mums said, after one of those gaps.

I know Mums. Don't you worry; _I_ shan't, Joey persisted, though the roofs of Pettalva were rather blurred just then.

I know it will be new, but I'm going to like Redlands awfully, and write you reams of letters, so you won't be dull--and--and --Joey swallowed a lump in her throat--

Oh, my Joey, I _like_ mending the stockings!

But I am going to love your letters, darling, and live in the interesting new world with you. Shan't we watch for the post, Kirsty and Bingo and I, and always be making excuses to go to the odd-and-end shop?
