Grandma laughed. “Who is mocking now? Go on, naughty girl.”
“Then I’ll put it in my own disagreeable way, with all my I’s in very black italics. Well, I have always felt that I was Annis’s special friend, and here Audrey Vane is getting awfully intimate with her, and I don’t like it a bit.”
“Why not?”
“Because.”
“Such a very satisfactory reason.”
“Then it’s because—because Audrey was so hateful at first, and it makes me mad to see her so honeyfied now.”
“Audrey did not show a fine spirit, I admit; but would you have her continue to show ill-feeling to Annis?”
“No-o.”
“Then, when she is doing her best to make up for past slights, isn’t that rather commendable?”
“I suppose so.”
