"HOW does she act?" said Polly. "I tell you all truly, I'm wild to see her!"
"Rob told you how she acted," said Harry, with a laugh, "and old Scratch isn't half bad 'nough. Say! She wanted to have a wedding for her best doll the other day, and she cut a lace curtain off a yard from the floor to make a wedding veil for it!"
"'Twas a parlor curtain and I guess her mama didn't think that was cunning," said Lena.
"She tells lies—"
"Oh, Harry!" interrupted Leslie, "you mustn't."
"Well, she DOES, and they're too big to be called fibs," Harry said, stoutly.
"And the queerest thing is that Inez Varney plays with her all the time, and she doesn't ever play with any of us now. She hasn't been to my house since that new little girl came here to live," said Leslie.
"And Leslie don't care," declared Harry, "because Inez was getting queerer and queerer, and she wasn't the pleasantest playmate, but now she's so gay you'd hardly think she was Inez Varney."
Polly was greatly interested.
"What's the new little girl's name?" she asked.
