He wondered if he were simply having a beautiful dream . But it was no dream . And it was all arranged later on . No one rejoiced more heartily in Tommy 's success than Bessie . `` But I 'll miss you dreadfully , Tommy , '' she said wistfully . `` Oh , I 'll be home every Saturday night , and we 'll have Sunday together , except when I 've got to go to Sunday school . 'Cause Miss Octavia says I must , '' said Tommy comfortingly . `` And the rest of the time you 'll have Roselle Geraldine .
