"Which ear?" asked Kenneth, feeling of both of his.
"Fair exchange," said Marie, gaily. "Tell us what you said about us, and we'll tell you what we said about you."
"We said you were the two prettiest and sweetest girls in the world," said Cameron.
"And we said," declared Patty, "that you were the two handsomest and most delightful men in the world."
"But we said you had some faults," said Kenneth, gravely.
"And we said you had," retorted Marie. "Let's tell each other our faults. That's always an interesting performance, for it always winds up with a quarrel."
"I love a quarrel," said Cameron, enthusiastically. "I dare anybody to tell me my greatest faults!"
"Conceit," said Marie, smiling at her cousin.
"That isn't a fault; it's a virtue," Kit retorted.
"That's so," and Marie nodded her head; "if you didn't have that virtue, you wouldn't have any."
