`` We thought you had gone , '' said Jo hastily , for she knew he was looking at her . Her bonnet was n't big enough to hide her face , and she feared he might think the joy it betrayed unmaidenly . `` Did you believe that I should go with no farewell to those who haf been so heavenly kind to me ? '' he asked so reproachfully that she felt as if she had insulted him by the suggestion , and answered heartily ... `` No , I did n't . I knew you were busy about your own affairs , but we rather missed you , Father and Mother especially . '' `` And you ? '' `` I 'm always glad to see you , sir . '' In her anxiety to keep her voice quite calm , Jo made it rather cool , and the frosty little monosyllable at the end seemed to chill the Professor , for his smile vanished , as he said gravely ... `` I thank you , and come one more time before I go . '' `` You are going , then ? '' `` I haf no longer any business here , it is done . '' `` Successfully , I hope ? '' said Jo , for the bitterness of disappointment was in that short reply of his . `` I ought to think so , for I haf a way opened to me by which I can make my bread and gif my Junglings much help . '' `` Tell me , please ! I like to know all about the -- the boys , '' said Jo eagerly . `` That is so kind , I gladly tell you . My friends find for me a place in a college , where I teach as at home , and earn enough to make the way smooth for Franz and Emil . For this I should be grateful , should I not ? '' `` Indeed you should . How splendid it will be to have you doing what you like , and be able to see you often , and the boys ! ''
cried XXXXX , clinging to the lads as an excuse for the satisfaction she could not help betraying .
