She is used to sleeping with her mother, you know, and she would be lonely if she were left to herself." "Perhaps that will be better, only it is a great bother for you, Clovy dear." "I don't mind," responded Clover, cheerfully. "I rather like to change about and try a new room once in a while. It's as good as going on a journey almost."
I was thinking about Elsie and John, and wondering But what's the matter, Katy? What makes you fire up so about it? You've watched the ball-playing yourself plenty of times." "I know I have, and I didn't mean to be cross, Clovy. The truth is I am all put out. These girls with incessant talk about the students make me absolutely sick. It is so unladylike, and so bad, especially for the little ones.
It was almost more than the girls could do to obey orders and not peep. "I feel something hard," announced Clover, inserting a finger-top under the lid. "Oh, do you?" cried Katy. Then, making an heroic effort, she jumped into the bed. "It's the only way," she said, "you'd better come too, Clovy.

You liked the High Valley, didn't you?
I don't seem to like her a bit, and I predict that you will yet have some dreadful sort of a row with her, Clovy." "Indeed we shall not; nothing of the kind. She's really a good little thing at bottom; this angularity and stiffness that you object to is chiefly manner. Wait till she has been here long enough to learn the ways and wake up, and you will like her." "I'll wait," said Rose, dryly.
Matrimony is the most aggravating condition of things for outsiders that was ever invented. I wish nobody had invented it. Here it would be so nice for us to have you stay, and the moment that provoking husband of yours appears, you can't think of any one else." "Too true much too true. Now, Clovy, don't embitter our last moments with reproaches.
The result of this long meditation was that, when Clover woke up, she found Katy leaning over, ready to kiss her for good morning, and looking bright and determined. "Clovy," she said, "I've been thinking; and I'm not going to write to papa about this affair at all!" "Aren't you? Why not?" asked Clover, puzzled. "Because it would worry him, and be of no use.
