And she was ashamed to have her much-loved twin know of her disgrace.
Duke's table and chats with him by the hour. But she passes me up with a curt, 'Good night, Miss Allen." "And Larkie, too?" "Lark is worse than Carol. Her dislike is deeper-seated. I believe I could win Carol in time. Sometimes I waylay her when she is leaving after school, and try my best.
