"Carol doesn't need watching—not any more at least."
"I'm not really watching her, you know. I'm just keeping my eyes open."
"But Carol's all right. That's one time Prudence was away off." She smiled as she recognized a bit of Carol's slang upon her lips. "Don't worry about her. You needn't keep an eye on her any more. She's coming, all right."
"You don't think there's any danger of her falling in love with the wrong man?"
"No."
"There aren't many worth-having fellows in Mount Mark, you know."
"Carol won't fall in love with a Mount Mark fellow."
"You seem very positive."
"Yes, I'm positive."
He looked thoughtful for a while. "Well, Prudence always told me to watch Carol, so I could help her if she needed it."
