The sound swelled and multiplied oddly, and then they saw the three figures at the gate who had listened, too. Billy was discovered! They escorted Billy home. It was rather a silent walk until the end. Loraine spoke first. "One less in the B-Hive," she said sadly. "Yes, I suppose I'm dropped now," responded Billy, not uncheerfully. "Of course I've got to take the consequences of my my crime.
The "B" part of the name which they had given to the little colony came from the accident of all their surnames beginning with that letter Brown, Bent, Baker, Byers. It was, they all agreed, a happy accident; the "B-Hive" sounded so well. But, as Laura Ann said, it entailed things, notably industry. Laura Ann finished negatives part of the day to earn money to learn to paint the other part.
It had all been decided upon. The B-Hive was to be transplanted for the summer to the little, green-painted house trailed over with morning-glory vines and roses. Emmeline Camp had wanted, she said, for forty years, to go upon a long journey, to visit her brother. Here was her chance.
"There's nothing to prevent that, if we live outside the old B-Hive. We'll start a new B-Hive! Poor Thomasia O.!" They would miss T.O. very much indeed well, they could invite her in to tea and keep her all night! In spite of the wicked old Compact, they would keep together. "And we'll never," vowed Laura Ann for them all, "sign any more nefarious bonds!"
It was, after all, quite true, though none of them would acknowledge it except the Talentless One herself. She was, as she insisted, the odd one in the busy little B-Hive. Her very face, small and dark and lean, was an "odd" one; the faces of the other three were marked by an indefinable something that she called talent, and she was not far wrong.
