The Twins and a Wedding

“You dear funny darlings!” said Una, kissing us both. Johnny didn’t like that, but he said he didn’t mind it in a bride.
Then we had dinner, and I thought Mrs. Franklin more wonderful than ever. I couldn’t have believed any woman could have got up such a spread at two hours’ notice. Of course, some credit must be given to Bridget and the boy. Johnny and I were hungry enough by this time and we enjoyed that repast to the full.
We went home on the evening train. Ted and Una came to the station with us, and Una said she would write me when she got to Japan, and Ted said he would be obliged to us forever and ever.
When we got home we found Hannah Jane and Father and Mother–who had arrived there an hour before us–simply distracted. They were so glad to see us safe and sound that they didn’t even scold us, and when Father heard our story he laughed until the tears came into his eyes.
“Some are born to luck, some achieve luck, and some have luck thrust upon them,” he said.
