Sara Ray cried bitterly in lieu of singing . `` Look here , '' said the Story Girl , as we turned to leave the old orchard , `` I want to ask a favour of you all . Do n't say good-bye to me tomorrow morning . '' `` Why not ? '' demanded Felicity in astonishment . `` Because it 's such a hopeless sort of word . Do n't let 's SAY it at all . Just see me off with a wave of your hands . It wo n't seem half so bad then . And do n't any of you cry if you can help it . I want to remember you all smiling . '' We went out of the old orchard where the autumn night wind was beginning to make its weird music in the russet boughs , and shut the little gate behind us . Our revels there were ended . CHAPTER XXXIII . THE STORY GIRL GOES The morning dawned , rosy and clear and frosty . Everybody was up early , for the travellers must leave in time to catch the nine o'clock train . The horse was harnessed and Uncle Alec was waiting by the door . Aunt Janet was crying , but everybody else was making a valiant effort not to . The Awkward Man and Mrs. Dale came to see the last of their favourite . Mrs. Dale had brought her a glorious sheaf of chrysanthemums , and the Awkward Man gave her , quite gracefully , another little , old , limp book from his library .
`` Read it when you are sad or happy or lonely or discouraged or hopeful , '' he XXXXX gravely .
