“Every bit. And I tell you, Bernie, if Dot and I set out to make you have a good time, you’ll have it, and that’s all there is about that!”
“I believe you, and I’m glad you’re so outspoken, Dolly. Now, honest, I’m going to try, but you don’t know how hard it is to be nice to those girls when they turn aside and whisper to each other about me and all things like that.”
“They won’t do that, Bernice, if you act differently toward them. Now, look here. You talk over your party with your father and if he says you can have it, get your invitations out soon. My brother and Dot’s will be home for Thanksgiving,—when is your birthday?”
“The 30th of November.”
“Good! They’ll be here then. Well, you ask your father about your party,—and—about that other matter, will you?”
“Yes, I will, to-night. And he’ll say yes to both.”
