“Oh, they walk and fence and play tennis a little.”

“No, they don’t know any more about cricket than they do about baseball.”
“I suppose they all go to walk two and two, like the girls in a convent. They must be a choice lot of little mollycoddles!”
“I shouldn’t advise you to call one of them by that name!” declared Shirley, warming up.
