Well, I was growing cold and more hauty every moment, so I said: "I don't see why the mere mention of a Flask upsets you so. It isn't because you aren't used to one, especialy when traveling. And since I was a mere baby I have been acustomed to intoxicants." "Barbara!" she intergected, in the most dreadful tone. "I mean, in the Familey," I said.
I really did look like Julia Marlowe, especialy as my face was very sad and tradgic. At something before seven every one had gone, and I heard Sis and mother come upstairs to dress for dinner. I sat and waited, and when I heard father I got cold all over. But he went on by, and I heard him go into mother's room and close the door.
Gray's trowsers on a fense, although torn, but that he ran into a tree because of going very fast and skiding. He would have gone through the wind-shield, but that it was down. I was by that time mollafied and sorry I had been so angry, especialy as Tom said: "Father ofered a hundred dollars reward for his capture, and as you have been adviseing me to save money, I went after the hundred."
"I haven't noticed any cherishing. They tolarate me, and hardly that." "I fear you are pessamistic," I said, reproving her but mildly, for Jane's school is well known to be harsh and uncompromizing. "However, my own feelings to my Instructers are diferent and quite friendly, especialy at a distance. I shall send them flowers."
Leila had gone out, and all at once I knew that my Patriotism was not what I had thought it, for I could not bear to see him going to War, especialy as his mother would be lonly without him. Although I have never considered myself weak, I now felt that I was going to cry. I therfore said in a low voice to give me a Handkercheif, and he gave me one of his.
I am compeled to confess that I wept, although I had not expected to, and indeed shed few tears, although bitter ones. How could I posibly know that the chaste Salute of Eddie Perkins and my head on Carter Brooks' shoulder were both plainly visable against the rising moon? But this was the Case, especialy from the house next door. But I digress. Suddenly Carter held me off and shook me somewhat.
First, because I am in Debt, especialy for to tires, and second, because parents will then read it, and learn that it is not possable to make a good appearence, including furs, theater tickets and underwear, for a Thousand Dollars a year, even if one wears plain uncouth things beneath. I think this, too.
I had got the aformentioned cinder in my eye, and a very nice young man had taken it out for me. I still cannot see what harm there was in our chating together after that, especialy as we said nothing to object to. But father looked very disagreeable about it, and the young man went away in a hurry. But it started us off wrong, although I got him father to promise not to tell mother.
For Tradgedy has crept into my life, so that somtimes I wonder if it is worth while to live on and suffer, especialy without an Allowence, and being again obliged to suplicate for the smallest things. But I am being brave. And, as Carter Brooks wrote me in a recent letter, acompanying a box of candy: "After all, Bab, you did your durndest. And if they do not understand, I do, and I'm proud of you.
"Since when have you been allowed to have callers?" I looked at her steadily. "I am young," I observed, "and still in the school room, Leila. I admit it, so don't argue. But as I have not taken the veil, and as this is not a Penitentary, I darsav I can see my friends now and anon, especialy when they live next door." "Oh!" she said. "It's the Gray infant, is it!"
