Did you ever read the words "The End" and then turn over the pages at the back of the book to see if there wasn't just the least scrap more hidden somewhere? This time there is.
Everybody knows that you are quite clever enough to guess everything that happened afterwards to Jeanne and her family; but Old Captain wants you to know for certain that Annie was perfectly sweet and lovely in her new clothes, that Sammy was so bright and attractive in his that the first-grade teacher just loved him and gave him a splendid start along the road to knowledge; and that Patsy proved so good and so charming in every way that Mrs. Fairchild fairly adored him.
And this is
THE VERY END
