They were on the stairs and they all stopped to turn and look at her.
“Phyl never wants to be away from me,” she continued, her cheeks hot in anger.
“I don’t hear Phyl agreein’ with you,” May remarked.
It was Phyllis’s turn to be angry. The color left her cheeks and her eyes flashed dangerously.
“No need of my saying anything for people to know that I agree with my twin,” she said coldly. “We always agree on every subject,” and she walked upstairs the rest of the way in silence with her head up in the air.
The new twins exchanged glances.
“What did you say anything for?” Bess asked sulkily.
“Oh, keep still,” May replied.
When they reached the new wing, Sally was glad to turn them over to Kitty and Alice. The news had circulated that there were to be twins for the new wing, and the girls had collected to welcome them.

“Phew! I’m glad that’s over!” Sally sat down on her bed and pulled Daphne down beside her.
