"I won't let her know that I care; and I must be polite because she is a guest, even if she wasn't invited," thought Rebby, as carrying the lustre mug and a birch-bark plate with a square of honeycomb and a brownish crisp "spider-cake" she went toward Lucia. Neither of the little girls spoke, and Rebby did not look at her former friend who had led her into such sad mischief.
