Oh, how can anybody be so stingy!" "Sh-sh, sh-h, Serena. Don't speak so of the dead. Why, we ought to be mournin' for her, really, instead of rejoicing over what she left us.

Why don't you go to bed, Sue?" "How long are you going to wait?" asked Susan. "Oh, just until after the doctor goes, I guess," Mary Lou sighed. "Well, then I'll wait for you.
