F. I don’t wonder.
A. It was awfully good fun to see how she tried to pretend she didn’t care; and then, when she couldn’t stand it another minute, she’d catch up the very first thing she could lay her hands on, and throw it.
F. (descending the steps) I would if I’d been she. Could she wear ear-rings?
A. Oh, not for the longest time,—as much as a year, any way. When we wanted to be especially pleasant, we told her that frozen ears always came off after a time.
F. How horrid!
A. But it was such fun!
F. Good-bye. Be sure and come to-morrow.
A. Yes.
F. And come early.
A. Yes; I’ll come right after luncheon.
