"Because she likes to prove that she is great and we are small, I dare say," answered Aileen. "Of course the new girl may be perfectly lovely and maybe we'll get to like her a lot, but it's the principle of the thing which enrages me. It seems to me we might have some voice in the choice of a room-mate after being in the school three years.
Misshapen automobiles were chasing by, carrying to the cool river's marge the restlessness and the fever of American life. But the bustle and the noise seemed to the boy only auspicious omens of the future. Jack, his room-mate and dearest friend, had left him a month ago, and, for a space, he had felt very lonely.
Then out shot Ted's hand, clasping that of his room-mate in a firm grasp. "Well, chum, I guess we've been pretty good pals now for nearly three years. You and I have always stuck together. That means that if you are going in, I'm going too!" "Great!" bellowed Jack with a whack on the back that made Ted wince. "Let's beat it quick for the recruiting station. Are you on?"
Allston succeeds in the prime of life, and will, in the opinion of the greatest connoisseurs in this country, carry the art to greater perfection than it ever has been carried either in ancient or modern times.... After him is a young man from Philadelphia by the name of Leslie, who is my room-mate." How fallible is contemporary judgment on the claims of so-called genius to immortality.
"That is n't what you ought to be doing just now. This is the time to make beds, and as your room-mate has not come, I will help you this morning, so you will not have to make it all alone; but perhaps you know how to make a bed, so that you would just as soon make it by yourself." Maude lifted her face, her eye flashing through her tears. "I don't know how to make a bed," she answered.
"Oh, how splendid to have it all a secret from you two!" cried Hope. "But who will help us?" "We shall ask Frances Sherrar," announced Gail after a whispered consultation with her room-mate. "She knows all about such things." "Then let's us ask Mrs. Sherrar," suggested Cherry, anxious to have as good authority to back them in their plans. "That's a good idea," Hope conceded readily.
There were speeches for and against, by distinguished men in the Church. Dr. "Mr. Doty was my first room-mate at college thirty-one years ago, and ever since we have been fast friends. As to the other, his parents-themselves among the most eminent and devoted Christians ever known-were long members of the church in New Jersey, of which I was formerly in charge. For several years I was his pastor.
Two busy young clerks were at work in the office adjoining the foyer, and for those who were already provided with a room-mate the task of securing a room was a matter of only a few moments. Our girls, with the exception of Louise, had paired off when they had registered for the term. Bobby Littell and Betty Gordon were, of course, inseparable.
Ralph noticed at once that she was English, and in a few moments he discovered that her sight was defective. Could it be that Hannah's mother was the room-mate of this loathsome creature, whose profanity and obscenity did not intermit for a moment? Happily the weak-eyed girl had not dared to brave the curses of Mowley. Ralph stepped forward to the woman by the window, and greeted her.
"That settles it!" exclaimed Will, "I'm going to bed. Splinter will be easy on us to-morrow anyway." Foster smiled as he shook his head and continued his own work, but his room-mate was not aware of either action.
