"And she is a senior? I think it is lovely of her to want me to come, and I shall surely go."
"You will meet some of our nicest girls there, and Becky has a very pleasant home."
"I think it just dear of you to take me," said Janet gratefully. She was a little bewildered by Rosalie's evident desire to please her, and wondered why she should have so attracted her. It was after Rosalie left the room and Cordelia came in that she found out.
"I see Rosalie Trent is rushing you," she said.
"Why, what makes you think so?" asked Janet.
"Wasn't she just here, and haven't you been walking with her and meeting her after class to walk home with her?"
"Why, yes, I have sometimes."
"They say that it is a great compliment to be asked to join the fraternity that Nell Deford and Becky Burdett belong to, and you ought to feel flattered."
"Fraternity? Rosalie has never mentioned the word to me."
"Of course not. It would be the greatest breach of etiquette to think of doing that, and Rosalie would rather die than mention it to you; all the same she is rushing you, it is very plain to be seen. You didn't suppose she was showering her attentions upon you simply because she loved you for yourself alone, did you?"
