"I don't know who you allude to, but there is one of the prettiest girls I have seen for a long time." "I know who you mean, though," said his companion laughingly, "and she is one of the nicest girls I know.
"Katharine Crilly, you just mind your own business!" laughed Mrs. Albright. "To begin at the beginning," she turned toward Polly, "I was knocking at Miss Twining's door yesterday afternoon when she came up the stairs. So I went in with her and stayed a little while. She was in fine spirits.
Why don't you try it, girls? It's fun! Miss Sterling will let you have her bed we'll make it over afterwards. Try it. Mis' Albright, and you, Miss Leatherland, it'll do you good!"

"It is lucky for the rest of us that we don't have any."

Mrs. Albright inquired. "I knew of her." Miss Crilly answered. "She kep' boarders over Kelly Avenue way. She used to teach school years ago.

Many of the ladies were glad to stop, and scattered stones and mossy logs made pleasant resting places. Doodles played delightfully and finally slipped into a waltz. "Oh, my feet just won't stay still!" cried Miss Crilly. "Come on, Polly!"
How can he?" laughed Miss Crilly, as the bird disposed of the dainty. His reward seemed to incite him to further song, for straightway he launched into a gay little medley that set his hearers laughing and admiring at once. "The birthday supper is ready!" announced Blue informally from the door of the dining-room.
