It had been expected that Ella, her husband, and her twin boys would arrive at the little village station a full hour before the train from the north bringing Ned, Mrs. Ned, and little Mabel, together with Frank and his wife and son; but Ella's train was late--so late that it came in a scant five minutes ahead of the other one, and thus brought about a joyous greeting between the reunited families on the station platform itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Why, it's not so bad we were late, after all,\" cried Ella. \"This is fine--now we can all go together!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Jove! but we're a cheery sight!\" exclaimed Ned, as he counted off on his fingers the blooming faces of those about him. \"There are ten of us!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Only fancy what they'll say at the house when they catch their first glimpse of us!\" chuckled Frank. \"The dear old souls! How Father's eyes will shine and Mother's cap-strings bob! By the way, of course they know we're coming to-day?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere was a moment's silence; then Ella flushed. \"Why! didn't--didn't you tell them?\" she stammered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I? Why, of course not!\" cried Frank. \"I supposed you were going to. But maybe Ned-\" He paused and turned questioning eyes on his brother.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNed shook his head. \"Not I,\" he said.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Why, then--then they don't know,\" cried Ella, aghast. \"They don't know a thing!\"","brand":"Thom Berks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073528709360,"sku":"2940012661548","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012661548_p0.jpg?v=1763571511","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012661548","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
