n. For she could tell Mrs. Bunker so many things about the absent
one that there was not a shadow of a doubt that the Sam working for Aunt
Jo would prove to be Mammy June's boy.

The holidays on the Meiggs Plantation ended, therefore, all the more
pleasantly because of this discovery. The plantation was a fine place to
be on, so the six little Bunkers thought. But when Daddy Bunker
announced that his business with his old friend, the planter, was
satisfactorily completed, the children were not sorry to think of
returning North.

"This doesn't seem like winter at all down here," said Russ. "We want to
slide downhill, and roll snowballs, and make snowmen."

"And it is nice to go sleigh riding," Rose added. "They never can do
that on the Meiggs Plantation."

"But you can make riddles here," put in Laddie.

Vi might have added that she could ask questions anywhere!

As for Margy and Mun Bun, they were contented to go anywhere that Mother
Bunker and Daddy went. Something exciting was always happening to all of
the six little Bunkers. But we will let you guess, with Russ and Rose
and Vi and Laddie and Margy and Mun Bun, where the next exciting
adventures of the half dozen youngsters from Pineville will take place.

Then came the time to leave the plantation. The children had many little
keepsakes to take home with them and they promised to send other
keepsakes to the Armatage children as soon as they got back to
Pineville.

"It's been just the nicest outing that ever could be!" said Rose, when
the good-byes were being spoken. "I'm sure I'll never forget this
lovely place."

"I's coming back some day if they want me," put in Mun Bun quickly. And
at this everybody smiled.

Then all climbed into the automobile which was to take them to the
railroad station. There was a honk of the horn, and amid the waving of
hands and a hearty cheer, the six little Bunkers and their parents
started on their journey for home.
