th, just as if nothing had happened!"

"A letter from Auntie Rose!" cried Edie, taking the packet from the
postman. "Perhaps she asks us all to the seaside."

That was exactly what Auntie Rose did ask, as they found when they read
the letter. She was staying with their cousins in Devonshire, and
thought they might come at once, as she knew of suitable apartments for
them. Their parents, too, who were on the Continent, might perhaps
join them there soon.

"Oh, that will be jolly!" cried the children.

"And when we come back," said Alfy, "I expect all signs of the flood
will have gone. It has not been a bad time, though, has it, Mansy?"

"Perhaps not so very bad, Master Alfy," said Mansy, laughing; "only I
could not abear that rockety tub. Now let us tidy the garden."
