That lady answered her look with one tear and a good many words: "Well, Lillie, if you knew how I felt at getting into such a scrape, you wouldn't look at me as if you were an Avenging Conscience, or a Nemesis, or any of those horrid furies. No; and you wouldn't look speechlessly sorrowful, either.
You see the fellows like it, because they are so sure not to be drawn in." "I think it's too bad on us girls, though," said Belle. "You ought to leave us our turn." "Oh! I'll turn over any of them to you, Belle," said Lillie. "There's Harry, to begin with. What do you say to him?" "Thank you, I don't think I shall take up with second-hand articles," said Belle, with some spirit.

But the motorman only gave him an angry glance and would not even reach around and lift the latch. "He's running away with us!" exclaimed Lillie Nevins, who was always easily frightened.

"But I'll report him to the inspector when we get to the end of the route."
