Saturday

Bentsville Cor is it Heaten?)
 Saturday.
 It must be dream, Joan! But, oh, I pray not to wake out of it. 1 almost fear to touch pen to paper lest I break the spell
 Yet so unreal and marvellous has this day been that I long to hold onto it by putting it in written words. I won't do it justice, because common place phrases cant fit a fairy happen ing. But, darling old Joan, you will translate it with your heart as you read, and understand
 It was toward sundovn when the f1ivver jOgged us into Bentsville by the old back road. Everything was bathed in deep golden light and I fancied "Auntie" Hannah a goddess of peace and plenty as she came out onto the lawn and held out her hands in welcome.
 But, oh, Joan, how I missed you. To be in your house, in the old famii- far rooms without seeing you there, sort of appalled, me.
 "Auntie" Hannah's careless "Oh, Miss Joanll be home soon enough" only added to my sense of the un- reality of everything.
 You are to take her room and make yourself to home," Hannah went on importantly. I've a nice supper ready and waiting for you and MT. Randy"
 l turned perplexedly to Randy and caught him staring at me in the strangest way.
 'Is-there's nothing the matter, is there?' I urged
 Not a thing, dearie," said Hannah, bustling into the kitchen to watch the biscuits. "One of the children's got ways feels she's got to help every human creatur."
 Forget Joan for minute" put in Randy, and pay a little attention to me. I've got to be fed. And then I want you, Dorothy, to take a walk with me- I want to show you the little house. Run upstairs, get fresh ened up if you like to, and let's eat" rStill struggling with feeling of strangeness and unreality, I skittered to your room, washed up and got into a clsan frock. That darling room! The same pansy- pattern chintz cur tains blowing in the south breeze. The same circular rag mat beside the bed. The same white chairs that you and I painted three summers ago. The shelf of boolls-with Hughes '"Thir- teenth Commandment" and the ''Pocl1et R. l.. S." I sent you, and Wells Joan and Peter." There were fresh pink asters in a vase on the dresser, with my picture at one side, Randy's at the other, and some framed snapshots of the old crowd that used to run together be- fore I went out "to make my for tune"
 I wanted to indulge in a good old sentimental bawl, out of sheer joy to be back again. But Randy kept bel lowing up the stairs to hurry, and Hannah insisted on immediate hot biscuits
 And now comes-the miracle.
 Randy and I walked out to the Little House.
 You don't deserve to be told another thing for running away like this Besides, since you and Randy did all this plotting together, you know the end of the story-so why should I tell you more?
 However I'll sec what sort of a mood I am in tomorrow. And whether the whole things a dream or not, or if I wake up in the morning and find myself back in that private car of Herron's-
 Oh, Joan. the tears are blnding me-tears of thankful joy-of happy heWild shame that I do not deserve it all D.
