For two days longer there was no relief from that, but on the morning of the third, Max came bounding in on his return from Viamede, where he had been to make his usual inquiries about Grace and the baby, his face glowing with happiness.
So it was settled, everybody seeming well satisfied with the arrangement. A little more time was spent in discussing plans, then the captain and Violet bade good-by and set out on their return home. "You are well pleased with the prospect of this visit to Viamede, Violet, my dear?" the captain said, as they drove rapidly along the familiar road.
"But I must go home," repeated Lulu; "Gracie is sure to be wanting me, and I can't stay away from her." "No," the others said; "none of us are allowed to go into the room for fear of the contagion. Indeed, we're not to go back to Viamede, but to stay at either Magnolia Hall or the parsonage till the danger is over."
I do think you have much more of that kind of patience than Rosie has. But let us talk of something else." They talked of Viamede, each telling the other what she had heard of its beauties; of Magnolia Hall, too; of Molly, Isa, and the other relatives of the Dinsmores who were living in that region of country.
His news that their winter was to be spent at Viamede was hailed with delight by both the little girls. "I am so glad!" cried Grace, clapping her hands and smiling all over her face. "I, too," exclaimed Lulu. "Viamede is so, so beautiful, and to have you there with us, you dear papa, will make us me any way enjoy it at least twice as much as I did before."
Lulu had noted the momentary hesitation, and flushed hotly under it; but the kiss set all right, and she returned it as warmly as it was given. "It seems nice to see you and uncle Edward again, aunt Zoe!" she said, "and nice to get back to Ion, though Viamede is so lovely." "Yes," chimed in Rosie. "Viamede is almost an earthly paradise, but Ion is the homiest home of the two."
"But I know you and Max cannot help feeling anxious about both your father and your little sisters; and that being the case, I do not think you can study to any profit; and as the term has so nearly expired, I shall, if you wish it, take you away from here at once. "Not to Viamede, of course, but to Magnolia Hall, Mr. and Mrs.
It was late in the afternoon that he reached Ion, and he found Edward and Zoe sitting together in the parlor; she with a bit of embroidery in her hands, he reading aloud to her. Arthur was very warmly welcomed by both. "Cousin Arthur, I'm delighted to see you!" cried Zoe, giving him her hand. "And I no less so," added Edward, offering his. "How did you leave them all at Viamede?"
"And, O Lu, I'm looking for very good times this coming winter here in our lovely Viamede, and with your father here I know it will be pleasanter than ever for you pleasanter for all of us; for, Brother Levis, I hear that I am to be your pupil instead of Professor Manton's; a change which I haven't a doubt I shall enjoy extremely."
"Oh! how did it come that you and Ned staid behind when all the rest went to Viamede for the winter?" asked Ella. "Business kept my husband, and love for him and his society kept me," returned Zoe, with a look and smile that altogether belied any suspicion Ella might have had that she was fretting over the disappointment. "Didn't you want to go?"
