There was no simper on her lips, nothing superficial. She was only a tired, homesick girl. As Linda looked at her she understood why Katy had cried over her. She felt tears beginning to rise in her own heart. She put both arms protectingly around Eileen. "Why, you poor little thing," she said wonderingly, "was it so damn' bad as all that?"

The boys recognized one of them as Gatty's sweetheart. "Is he in love with her?" inquired Jones. Hyacinth the long-haired undertook to reply.
