That evening the five girls and Bob gathered on the spacious white
steps of the house to watch the beautiful Virginia sunset.
"Let's promise each other," suggested Betty, her pretty face serious
and thoughtful, "to meet five years from now, wherever we may be, and
compare notes. We'll be almost grown up then and know what we're
going to be."
"No matter how often we meet, or how seldom, five years from to-day
we'll promise to come together," agreed Bobby. "Here's my seal."
She put out her hand and the hands of the six interlocked in a tower.
"To our close friendship," murmured Betty, as they unclasped.
Then, the sun having set, they went into the glow and welcome of the
lighted lamps.
