Well , good-by for now . I 'll tell Miss Sally I 've met you . She will be pleased to hear about you . '' When Mary had gone , the Reed girls looked at each other . `` I suppose we ought to have gone to see Cousin Sally before , '' said Beatrice . `` Father said we ought to . '' `` How on earth did the Seymours pick her up ? '' said Helen . `` Of course we must go and see her . '' Go they did . The very next day Miss Sally 's cup of happiness brimmed right over , for Cousin Abner 's girls came to Golden Gate at last . They were very nice to her , too . Indeed , in spite of a good deal of snobbishness and false views of life , they were good-hearted girls under it all ; and some plain common sense they had inherited from their father came to the surface and taught them to see that Miss Sally was a relative of whom anyone might be proud . They succumbed to her charm , as the others had done , and thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Golden Gate . They went away promising to come often again ; and I may say right here that they kept their promise , and a real friendship grew up between Miss Sally and `` Cousin Abner 's girls '' that was destined to work wonders for the latter , not only socially and mentally but spiritually as well , for it taught them that sincerity and honest kindliness of heart and manner are the best passports everywhere , and that pretence of any kind is a vulgarity not to be tolerated . This took time , of course . The Reed girls could not discard their snobbishness all at once . But in the end it was pretty well taken out of them . Miss Sally never dreamed of this or the need for it . She loved Cousin Abner 's girls from the first and always admired them exceedingly .
`` And then it is so good XXXXX have your own folks coming as company , '' she told the Seymour girls .
