"Anything so exclusive as this," remarked Catherine, as she entered, "makes the rest of us jealous." "Fearfully chealous," said Frieda earnestly, putting her arm around Alice's neck, and perching on the arm of her chair. Hannah and Catherine sat down on the window-seat, pushing the curtains out of the way as they did so.
"None of that!" shouted the other girl. "This dress makes me sick, when I look at yours!" Marjorie perceived the jealousy in Frieda's eyes, and hastened to change the subject. "Will you go out in my canoe with me now?" "Nope! Not in this rig!" "But Frieda " "If you like it so much," she interrupted, "you wear it and give me yours!"
The remark fell damply on the conversation. But Helen slipped her arm round her cousin, somehow liking her the better for making it. It was not an original remark, nor had Frieda appropriated it passionately, for she had a patriotic rather than a philosophic mind. Yet it betrayed that interest in the universal which the average Teuton possesses and the average Englishman does not.
"Homesickness is very often hunger, and Weltschmerz can frequently be cured by a becoming frock, or brought on by an ill-fitting one," she meditated, as she fastened the pink and lace for Frieda.

"It is just right for Millicent's doll," cried Frieda, as she brought it in. "Couldn't we put her in it, Tante Clara, to make up for having torn the pretty dresses?" "Indeed you may.
And next, you haven't shown much enthusiasm over the things the Eldreds have done for you the last day or two. Now, I never knew any one who was so unfailingly appreciative as Frau Professor Lange." Frieda pouted. "But Hannah shows off." "Shows off? Frieda, I'm afraid your sense of humor is rather one-sided.
"But English English must be best," protested Frieda, and Hannah forgot Miss Lyndesay's warning and "flared up" for a minute, but immediately recollected herself, and ordered an ice-cream soda as a peace-offering, notwithstanding the fact that Frieda found the taste disagreeable. "You'll like it, when you are used to it," she said comfortingly. "You don't have them at home, you know."
Seeing Albina surrounded by lieutenants and non-coms., dancing first with one and then with another, Frieda grew quite excited. "Otto," cried she, "if you dare to dance with that baggage, all is over between us. It's like flies buzzing about a sugar-cake."
In the next week eleven children were brought to the house in aristocratic Brookvale, and Drusilla was frightened at the inundation of young that she had brought upon herself. They were of all kinds and all descriptions. There were John and Hans and Gretchen, and Frieda and Mina and Guiseppi, Rachel, Polvana, Francois; even a little Greek was among the collection.
