“No, it doesn’t. The Judson girls are going home then.”
“So they are. I guess Kirk won’t be sorry,” said Lily. “By the way, do you like him any better since he did the rescue act, which Tom just told us about?”
Marjorie smiled half to herself. It was so hard to keep anything from Lily—to refrain from telling her the whole story. And yet Kirk had exacted the promise, and she knew that she could not go back on it.
“Yes, he seemed awfully nice. You’ll like him better, too, after the Judsons go home.”
As soon as Marjorie had an opportunity she glanced slyly at Daisy, and found her smiling also. But neither girl said anything further.
“Did John say anything about the girl Jack saw him with?” asked Lily; for Marjorie had read her brother’s letter aloud to her.
“No, he didn’t” answered the other girl.
“Bad sign!” said Lily, jokingly.
“He can marry her for all of me,” returned Marjorie, indifferently.
“Why, Marj! Are you in love with Kirk?” asked Lily.
