“Oh, you’re so wise that I don’t have to tell you!”
“Well, let’s figure it out,” began Ethel. “Doris and Mae are married—you’re not either of you contemplating a divorce, are you?”

“Are you the one, Marj?” Alice persisted.
“She is!” exclaimed Daisy. “Look how guilty she looks!”
“No, girls, she isn’t,” Lily answered for her. “I give you my scout word of honor, unless something has happened since we left college. But I won’t hold you in suspense any more: I was only teasing you!”
