`` Wake me up when she comes , '' said rob , and was fast asleep in five minutes with his head in Nan 's lap under the pinafore . The little girl sat for some fifteen minutes , staring about her with anxious eyes , and feeling as if each second was an hour . Then a pale light began to glimmer over the hill-top and she said to herself , `` I guess the night is over and morning is coming . I 'd like to see the sun rise , so I 'll watch , and when it comes up we can find our way right home . '' But before the moon 's round face peeped above the hill to destroy her hope , Nan had fallen asleep , leaning back in a little bower of tall ferns , and was deep in a mid-summer night 's dream of fire-flies and blue aprons , mountains of huckleberries , and Robby wiping away the tears of a black cow , who sobbed , `` I want to go home ! I want to go home ! '' While the children were sleeping , peacefully lulled by the drowsy hum of many neighborly mosquitoes , the family at home were in a great state of agitation . The hay-cart came at five , and all but Jack , Emil , Nan , and Rob were at the bars ready for it . Franz drove instead of Silas , and when the boys told him that the others were going home through the wood , he said , looking ill-pleased , `` They ought to have left Rob to ride , he will be tired out by the long walk . '' `` It 's shorter that way , and they will carry him , '' said Stuffy , who was in a hurry for his supper . `` You are sure Nan and Rob went with them ? '' `` Of course they did ; I saw them getting over the wall , and sung out that it was most five , and Jack called back that they were going the other way , '' explained Tommy . `` Very well , pile in then , '' and away rattled the hay-cart with the tired children and the full pails . Mrs. Jo looked sober when she heard of the division of the party , and sent Franz back with Toby to find and bring the little ones home . Supper was over , and the family sitting about in the cool hall as usual , when Franz came trotting back , hot , dusty , and anxious . `` Have they come ? '' he called out when half-way up the avenue . `` No ! '' and Mrs. Jo flew out of her chair looking so alarmed that every one jumped up and gathered round Franz . `` I ca n't find them anywhere , '' he began ; but the words were hardly spoken when a loud `` Hullo ! ''
startled them all , and the next minute XXXXX and Emil came round the house .
