“When the children told Mr. Alden they wanted to visit Aunt Jane, he agreed right away. He thought it was a fine idea. “You haven’t been away this summer at all,” he said. “I’ll call her right now.” Aunt Jane thought the visit was a fine idea, too. “I’ll be especially happy to see you because Uncle Andy is away on business and I’m really lonesome,” she told Jessie on the phone. It was arranged that the Aldens would take the one o’clock bus the next day and Aunt Jane would be waiting at the bus s...top for them. In the morning they all packed small, brightly colored suitcases. Benny made sure his pink cup was in his. At one o’clock Grandfather drove them to the bus station and waved good-bye. At three they were in Elmford where Aunt Jane was waiting for them. They couldn’t wait to get to Aunt Jane’s old farmhouse, thinking of the cold water in the pond not far from her house, and how they’d enjoy splashing in it. When they had unpacked and played in the creek for over an hour, they all joined Aunt Jane in her big kitchen.MoreLessRead More Read Less
