Cora, Bess and Belle were real girl chums, but they never knew all, the delights of chumship until they "went in" for motoring.

Bentley and the girls. Greg was with his chum, of course, but Greg was not in a flutter.

I thought it would break of its own length. But I'm glad it hasn't." "Stephen, how can you?
It not unfrequently happens that a bright active lad will chum with a very quiet meditative one. The one doing the thinking and the other the acting. Such friendships will last on sometimes through life, but generally well through boyhood. Very often the last act of chumship is the acting as best man at the friend's wedding.
We had such lovely kinds of make-believe together. That's what our association always ought to mean to us, just chumship, and wonderful and preposterous pretends.
