The news was not a great surprise to us . We had felt it in the air ever since Uncle Blair 's arrival . Aunt Janet had been very unwilling to let the Story Girl go . But Uncle Blair was inexorable . It was time , he said , that she should go to a better school than the little country one in Carlisle ; and besides , he did not want her to grow into womanhood a stranger to him . So it was finally decided that she was to go . `` Just think , you are going to Europe , '' said Sara Ray in an awe-struck tone . `` Wo n't that be splendid ! '' `` I suppose I 'll like it after a while , '' said the Story Girl slowly , `` but I know I 'll be dreadfully homesick at first . Of course , it will be lovely to be with father , but oh , I 'll miss the rest of you so much ! '' `` Just think how WE 'LL miss YOU , '' sighed Cecily . `` It will be so lonesome here this winter , with you and Peter both gone . Oh , dear , I do wish things did n't have to change . '' Felicity said nothing . She kept looking down at the grass on which she sat , absently pulling at the slender blades . Presently we saw two big tears roll down over her cheeks . The Story Girl looked surprised . `` Are you crying because I 'm going away , Felicity ? '' she asked . `` Of course I am , '' answered Felicity , with a big sob .
`` Do you XXXXX I 've no f-f-eeling ? ''
