"If she only goes on at this rate, St. Chad's may begin to hope."
"Too good to last, I'm afraid."

"She's flagging a little!"
"No, she isn't! She's saving herself for a spurt. There! I told you so! She's passed Christina now!"
"I can hardly believe it's Janie Henderson who's running. It doesn't seem possible!"
"Well, of course, she's extremely light; that gives her a great pull over most of the others."
"But I didn't know she could run at all!"
"Perhaps she didn't either, until she tried."
