The twins fairly reveled in the glories of the country through the golden days that followed , and enjoyed every minute of every day , and begrudged the hours they spent in sleep . The time slipped by `` like banana skins , '' declared Carol crossly , and refused to explain her comparison . And the last day of their visit came . Supper was over at seven o'clock , and Lark said , with something of wistfulness in her voice , `` I 'm going out to the orchard for a farewell weep all by myself . And do n't any of you disturb me , -- I 'm so ugly when I cry . '' So she set out alone , and Jim , a little awkwardly , suggested that Carol take a turn or so up and down the lane with him . Mrs. Forrest stood at the window and watched them , tearful-eyed , but with tenderness .
