When Anna and Tante Elsie put Greta on the train the next day she was
very brave. She had never before been on the train by herself, but she
was not going to let anyone know that she was just a wee bit frightened.
After all, Chouse was with her, and this time he would not get away from
her. He seemed just as happy as she was to be going back home.
Greta kissed Anna and Tante Elsie goodbye. "This has been such a lovely
summer," she said. "I hope Anna can come to visit me again next
summer."
"And we want you to come back to Copenhagen next year," said Anna.
Greta waved to them until she could no longer see their handkerchiefs
waving to her in answer. Then she leaned back in her seat, with Chouse
on her lap.
"Chouse, this _has_ been the grandest summer we have ever had," said
Greta, giving her pet a loving hug. Then she took a withered rosebud
from her purse and looked at it dreamily. "And I know that I am the
happiest girl in all Denmark."
