"But it doesn't matter. I suppose there was some mistake and it went to
the wrong address. But it was better to have you bring the good news.
Are you sure we're to have the legacy?"
"Sure, Mother! I brought some money with me and more will come. You'll
be all right now. You can pay all your bills and have plenty left over."
"Oh, I'm so glad!" cried Sue. "Then you can have a real nice store,
can't you?"
"Yes," answered Mrs. Golden with a happy smile on her face, "I suppose I
can. Oh, how glad I am, and how thankful I am to you dear children.
You've helped me more than I can tell you."
"And we're going to help more!" cried Bunny Brown. "When you get your
new store I'm going to be a clerk in it; can't I, Daddy?"
"Maybe," said Mr. Brown, with a smile.
And so the good news came after the bad, which is always the best way to
have it come, I think. Mrs. Golden paid all her debts, and later she and
her son Philip opened a larger store and did very well. Sometimes Bunny
and Sue went to see the new place, but it was too far from their home
for them to "work" in it.
