So two days following Jessie arrived at Springbrook station, and when she got out of the train the station-master and the porter both recognized her and smiled at her. "Why, you've become quite a traveller, missie," said Mr. Simmons jokingly; "supposing we had let you sleep on! where would you have been by this time, I wonder?" "I don't know," answered Jessie, looking quite alarmed.
Hasn't she got out?" "No." Thomas hurried on more quickly. If she was booked for Springbrook, and wasn't in the train, no one knew what might have happened to her. She might have fallen out, or been stolen, or she might have got out at the wrong station, and a terrible fear weighed on him as he hurried on. "Hi! Mr. Dawson, come here!

"Will you read to me, or tell me about Springbrook?" "Of course I will, dear," she answered warmly; "but but I had better go up and tell Miss Patch, hadn't I, or she would think it unkind?" This, though, was not her only reason for going.

Could she ever have been in the midst of it with no thought of ever knowing anything else! How strange life was, and how wonderful! How one short month had changed everything! Here she was, her dream and her longing realized, going home again to Springbrook, to the old happy life, the same friends, the same everything yet, no, not quite the same, never quite the same, perhaps.
