"They're willed. We're going to pass them on to the next crowd--the girls who have this room." Ruth and Annabel exchanged a look. Their minds reverted to the calendar that hung low beneath the window, on which was written--in so fine a hand as to be almost illegible: "Look behind this calendar. 'A word to the wise is sufficient.'" Blue Bonnet tried to say something, but the words stuck in her throat. She gave one despairing glance about the room, her eyes sweeping the almost deserted quarters, and rising she made straight for the door. Wee and Patty, Sue and Angela followed silently. At her own door Blue Bonnet paused and held out her hand. "I reckon I'll say good-by, girls," she said. "Carita and I are going over to the hotel to spend the night with Grandmother and Aunt Lucinda. Hope to see _you_ next year, Sue, and you too, Wee." To Angela and Patty there were promises and instructions about writing. When the girls had passed on to their rooms Blue Bonnet turned and went back to Annabel. She opened the door softly. Annabel was sitting by the window where the girls had left her. Her head was buried in her hands and when she lifted it Blue Bonnet saw that her eyes were full of tears. She got up and came toward Blue Bonnet with outstretched arms. "Is it good-by, Blue Bonnet?" she said. "Not good-by, Annabel," Blue Bonnet answered bravely. "Not _good-by_--it's just--_auf wiedersehen_."
