“What of that?”
Hodge sprang up and walked the floor.
“I don’t want to hear it!” he cried, fiercely. “I don’t want to hear anything that will remind me of Yale! Isn’t it bad enough for me to know you are going back there!”
“I’m afraid I do not quite understand you,” said Merry, slowly. “Why should you feel that way about it?”
“I am an outcast! You are going back to finish your course.”
“Is that it?”
“Yes.”
“Are you jealous, Hodge?”
“No; I’m glad you’re going—I’m glad for you!”
