"I do not suppose she is; though I can't say I admired her."
"She looked round on all our things as though they were dirt!"
"Nonsense. But I daresay she is richer than we are."
"Oceans! They have twice as big a house."
"And half as big hearts perhaps," laughed Agnes. "Oh, Hugh, I pity that poor Tom."
"So do I, now I see what sort of a sister he's got. But he doesn't think her bad; he told me she was 'a stunner.'"
"I daresay. Well dear, are you satisfied with what I said? I wish I had said it better."
Hugh kissed her. "I couldn't have had half the courage you had," he answered; "and they'll be all the better for it some day, depend upon it. Don't look downhearted, you're a dear old girl."
