I had lost my passport, and was traveling under my room-mate's, who stayed behind in Constantinople to await our return. To read the description of him in that passport and then look at me, any man could see that I was no more like him than I am like Hercules.
Ruth Henry was defeated again, but not wholly so; for Marjorie's plan for befriending homesick freshmen had been put aside, and her chance of becoming president lost. But her rival's candidate had won! If Marjorie was disappointed at the failure of her plan, she was tremendously elated over her room-mate's election to the class presidency.
"I wouldn't mind telling her anything if she were a real heathen," was Mary's earnest answer. "But trying to break through her reserve is a harder task than butting a hole through the Chinese wall. You've no idea how haughty she is. Well, I don't care much." She cared enough, however, to take a lively interest in her room-mate's pedigree, after seeing the crest on her note paper.

"Somebody's got to do it, Ollie, and you are the last man hired," remarked Fred, quietly. "What would you like to do?" Oliver shifted himself in the crowded chair until he could look into his room-mate's eyes.
The visitors seemed puzzled by his manner and presently addressed themselves almost entirely to Tom, who, anxious to atone for his room-mate's churlishness, was nervously affable and unnaturally enthusiastic. "We don't see," explained Saunders, "why we shouldn't be allowed to have a banquet after we quit training. We deserve it.
"We remove here in April." "Again I apologize for my mere American grammar. Now, Henry, what is your room-mate's name?" "Well, we calls him Ethel, but I don't know his right title. "Do his parents live on the Zone?" "Oh, yes, sah, he has one father and one mother." To a six-foot black giant working as night-hostler of steam-shovels: "Well, Josiah, I suppose you're a Jamaican?"
Rosamond had invited Betty to share her room-mate's bed, but both girls were too tired and sleepy for any confidence. "It's been the queerest Christmas!" thought Betty, as she drifted toward sleep. "Why, I haven't given one single soul one single present!"
The questions and exclamations fell from Will's lips in such confusion that it was impossible to reply and even Foster who was in the room joined in the laugh with which his room-mate's excitement was greeted. "Not too fast, Will," laughed his father. "I had to come near here on business and I thought it would be a good thing to stop at Winthrop over night and have a little visit with my boy.
Think of seeing Britain in a car, with Father and Mother and Giles and Lenox! I want to shout!" "You little lucker!" sympathized Loveday. "But that isn't all yet. I haven't finished telling you," triumphed Diana, laying a fluffy head on her room-mate's shoulder, and poking a caressing finger into Loveday's dimples.
