“Oh, Dick! you mustn’t forget that he is your brother!”
“I don’t care! What right has he to be my brother? I don’t want a brother! All I want is you, Felicia!”
“Oh, you mustn’t talk that way! It’s wrong!”
“I don’t care if it is! Do you know what he wants to do? Well, he wants to take me away—away from you!”
She gave a little cry and clung to him.
“He wants to put me in an old school. I’m not going to school, for I know enough of that kind of learning now.”
“You’ll have to do what he says.”
“Don’t you think so! He can’t make me do it! He’ll find that he can’t!”
“It was in your papa’s will.”
“That doesn’t make any difference; I won’t do it, just the same.”
