“All right,” said Lorraine, beginning where she had left off; “what colour eyes has It?”
“Black.”
“Oh, then of course it isn’t Ed Fisher! Now, Patty, I’ve come to you. Is It good-looking?”
Kenneth sat on Patty’s right-hand, and with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes Patty replied, “Oh, not very.”
They all laughed at this, and Lorraine, passing on to Kenneth, said; “Do you think It is good-looking?”
Here was a chance to tease Patty in return, for Adelaide sat on Kenneth’s right hand, and the boy said: “Oh, very beautiful! Quite the best-looking person I know.”
Then they all laughed again, and Lorraine grew more and more bewildered. “Is It good-natured?” she asked of Adelaide.
Editha sat next to her sister, and so Adelaide said: “No; It is often as cross as a bear.”
“Then,” said Lorraine to Editha, “is It myself?”
“No, indeed,” replied Editha, “but It is one of your dearest friends.”
