“But you didn’t go quite round the world.”
“I’m glad there’s something left. Look girls, this is my room with the southern and western exposure. I think I’ll have it done in pale green and pink, Aunt Kate. That will tone down the summer sunshine. Phil and I have been discussing colors.”
“That will be pretty, and you can stand green. It would turn some complexions yellow,” returned Aunt Kate.
“How short the days are growing! And it gets dark so soon. Girls, we had better hurry off home.”
“Shall I order samples of green, Zaidee?”
“Yes, Aunt Kate, if you please.”
It was quite a treat to sit down at the table with a group of girls. Madame Eustice talked to them in French and Zay surprised her with her readiness and improved pronunciations.
“And I am quite a proficient in German as far as talking goes, I’ve heard so much of it, and it seemed so funny at first. Though a good many of the servants and waiters speak a little English.”
Zay glanced down at the other table. She singled out Miss Nevins who had quite a fancy hair dressing and a pink bow. But she saw no one she thought Miss Boyd. Then there was a full hour to the study period.
