Chapter 2

The morning, as Betsy had expected, began in terrible turmoil. Her sister rushed from floor to floor collecting her things. If meteorologists had seen her at that moment, they would have unanimously named the next hurricane after her. Only Amanda kept her stony calm and calmly waited for her in the kitchen, sipping her black coffee without sugar. Amanda looked great. She loved strict laconic images. Her hair was flawlessly styled. Kate, on the other hand, was still running around in her pyjama bottoms and packing everything. She first pulled out one outfit, then packed another one. At the same time, Betsy was sure that for the largest share of their entire trip to Europe, Kate would be buying all the strange and unsold outfits. Betsy joined Amanda.

-Good morning!- Good morning, dear, I see you are ready. Please write to us every day, you know your sister will go crazy if she doesn't know how you are. All the same, I can't help but try my luck again and try to invite you to come with us.

- Thank you, Amanda. But I really want to go there, and I think it should be fun. And I hope that you don't get bored either.

- Of course, sweetie. - said Amanda smiling, and went to help Kate with the suitcases.

 After two hours, everyone more or less gathered. It was on time as the taxi arrived. Betsy had to wear a special mask with filters so as not to smell the car and safely fly to Banff. They said goodbye at the airport. Kate was crying because Betsy had grown so much that she was already travelling without her. Amanda gave another lecture on what to do if Betsy had an allergy attack. Elizabeth was escorted to the gate and boarded the plane. This made Betsy feel a little uneasy. It was the first time she had gone so far and for a long time from her sister. On the other hand, she was very excited about the idea that she would spend the summer in such an eventful and interesting way. Betsy will volunteer. She will help foreigners with English. It must be very interesting. And she had no idea how eventually she'd end up absolutely right.
