"No from the station," panted Anna-Rose. "We didn't see any village," panted Anna-Felicitas. "We want Mr. Twist please," said Anna-Rose struggling with her breath. Amanda eyed them. "Having supper," she said curtly. "Fortunate creature," gasped Anna-Felicitas, "I hope he isn't eating it all." "Will you announce us please?" said Anna-Rose putting on her dignity. "The Miss Twinklers."
She was also making definite and unmistakable movements, and this time there could be no doubt about it; she was coming closer. "What say?" said Mr. Twist breathlessly, bending his head. "But I do," whispered Anna-Rose. "Do what?" said Mr. Twist, again breathlessly. She turned her face up to his.
"First of all," said Anna-Rose promptly, for she prided herself on the readiness and clearness of her explanations, "America will like us, because I don't see why it shouldn't.
"You see," explained Anna-Felicitas, who was never divided in her respect for truth, "we're not particularly old anything." The driver in his turn thought this over, and finding he had no observations he wished to make on it he let it pass, and said, "You'll miss Mr. Dellogg." "Oh?" said Anna-Rose, pricking up her ears, "Shall we?" "We don't mind missing Mr. Dellogg," said Anna-Felicitas.
Twist was offering her, "never to let us be anything but Its till we've taken on some men."

"We wish to carve out our own destinies," said Anna-Felicitas. "We more than wish to," corrected Anna-Rose, "we intend to. What were we made in God's image for if it wasn't to stand upright on our own feet?"
"What?" exclaimed Anna-Rose, staring at Mr. Twist and then at Edith Mrs. Twist, they were told, was breakfasting in bed "Why, we've unpacked." "You will re-pack," said Mr. Twist. They found difficulty in believing their ears. "But we've settled in," remonstrated Anna-Felicitas, after an astonished pause. "You will settle out," said Mr. Twist. He frowned.
Twist, who caught scraps of conversation as he came and went, that in the cabin the Twinklers must have alienated sympathy. They had. They had done more; they had got themselves actively disliked. From the first moment when Anna-Rose had dared to peep into their shrouded bunks the ladies had been prejudiced, and this prejudice had later flared up into a great and justified dislike.
"That's what you are." "No," sobbed Anna-Rose. "And the Germans have been too much for you." "They haven't," sobbed Anna-Rose, her pride up at the suggestion that anybody could ever be that.
