“I don’t like that fellow Crumb,” he said.
“Why?” she asked.
“It’s hard to say. He just rubs me the wrong way; but I’d bet almost anything that he’s a cad.”
“Oh, I think he’s perfectly divine!” said Eva with her usual enthusiasm.
Custer grunted.
“The trouble with you,” announced Eva, “is that you’re jealous of him because he’s an actor. That’s just like you men!”
Custer laughed.
“Maybe you’re right,” he said; “but I don’t like him, and I hope you’ll never go up there alone.”
“Well, I’m going to see them take pictures,” replied the girl; “and if I can’t get any one to go with me, I’m going alone.”
“I don’t like the way he looked at you, Eva.”
