"Dear old girls everybody: You'll die. Godmother Jocelyn's a good sort, in spite of her lace and her lap-dog. She's going to take me around the world! She says that as long as we're this far we might as well go all the way. It isn't the cherry blossoms and the rickshaws and the southern moons alone that thrill me--we're going with the peppiest family from Chicago--some people we met on the train. A father, a mother, a girl my age--_AND_--a very nice brother! _Nicest yet!_ But am I a pig? Yes. To leave my sisters there under Mrs. Milliken's thumb! But you'll forgive me, won't you? Do you remember how we used to play going to China?_ And I'm going!_" Sidney drew a long breath. She wished she were not alone. She wanted to shout or something. "Well!" she cried softly. "_No_ one laughs loudest! I guess--the whole family of Romley--laughs _together_ long--and--loud!"
