Good-bye!" called many voices. "Good-bye! Good-bye!" echoed the few students who were going to take a later train. Good-bye to Wellington and the old happy days!

Every one of the girls felt the hour of parting keenly, but to two of Molly's friends at least there came an additional pang.
How much sweeter now after the long, cruel, evil suffering years which have passed and gone since they faded! The students were dispersed, and David sat at his table by his open window, writing to his father and mother.
