"Indeed I am!"
"How I do wish I could go," sighed Quentina. "I should love Boston, I know. Alice did—though she still liked Texas better."
"Well, I know Boston would love you," chuckled Tilly, unexpectedly. "Girls, wouldn't she be a picnic in Sunbridge? She'd be more of a circus than you were, Genevieve!"
"Thank you," bowed Genevieve, with mock stiffness.
"Oh, we loved you right away—and we should Quentina, of course."
"Thank you," bowed Quentina, in her turn, laughingly.
