"I will tell you a secret," said Anna, "if you will keep it. Mamma bade
me gather some of these apricots and peaches, and put them in a nice
little basket, almost quite new, and cover the fruit over with fresh
green leaves, as she means to give it to your mamma when she goes away,
to eat while she is on the railroad."
The next morning the landlady came with her bill to be paid, and Willy
was very glad when he saw his mamma take two sovereigns out of her
purse, and a great many shillings, for he thought, "I hope she will
have a good deal instead of a _little over_." Then Anna came with
the nice basket of fruit and offered it; and Willy's mamma was much
pleased, and thanked her, and gave her a pretty silver pencil-case in
return, which delighted Anna.
In a few hours more Willy's travels were ended by his arrival in
London; we shall therefore take leave of him, after his pleasant
journey and his happy return.
THE END.
