But then a few days later Mr. Sawyer came to Mother, his face beaming, and said they’d be leaving for Michigan the next day. And Mrs. Sawyer looked radiant, too, and for the first time gobbled up her dinner like a little pig.
Afterward she took Mother into her room for a long talk.

“Oh, well, that’s fine.”

“Great Jumping grasshoppers!” cried Father. “Why don’t you tell a fellow?”
