"I'm sure of it," remarked Mavis, with all the conviction she could muster.
What pulls down other folks seems to set you up. I declare you're as blooming as twenty-five." "You fib like sixty! It's no such thing! And if it was, I'd ought to be ashamed of it." "Prodigious! as your namesake, the Dominie, would say. Don't tell me a woman is ever ashamed of looking young, or handsome!"
"Artists cannot tell a fib," Alma said, "or even act one," and she laughed in Beaton's upturned face. He did not unbend his dreamy gaze. "You're quite right. The suggestions are stupid."
