They swung onthe gate and kept looking down the road."Nice to he home for the hols, again." said Daisy. "I wish Fatty would buck up. We shan't be in time tomeet Pip and Bets' train if he doesn't buck up. I'm longing to see them again. It seems ages since theChristmas hols.""There he is!" said Larry, and jumped off the gate.
