Besides, my Muriel, Sunbeam revealed a great secret to me before she went away.' 'And that secret was what, Mamma?' 'That Guy will be here very soon, my love.' 'And here he is, sent from school by the Great Geni Steam to his home, his own dear fairy-land, where dwelleth his dear little Sunbeam, his Muriel,' said Guy, folding his astonished sister to his heart. We need say no more: every little girl who has parted with a beloved brother for the first time will understand all the joy, all the happiness that reigned within that happy home on the happy evening of Guy's arrival.
