“Grandmother never mentioned it to me. I had expected to room with you, Suzanne; but I knew Marta as well as I knew you, of course, and we have become fast friends. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt Marta for worlds!”
“It could be fixed up through our parents, you know.”
Ann wanted to tell Suzanne that she was a “selfish little pig” and the words were on the tip of her tongue,—but she refrained. It would not do. Here was a bit of scheming that would be worthy of Aunt Sue. What Suzanne could not get in one way she would get in another!
“If you won’t do anything about it, I’m going to ask Marta myself,” Suzanne continued.
“For pity’s sake, Suzanne! Don’t do anything of the kind!”
Suzanne set her lips together. How much her profile looked like Aunt Sue.
“Would you and Marta care, then, if it were arranged for Maddy and me to come with Eleanor and Aline? That would give Genevieve the old suite in the new cottage, and she’d get over being mad about it!”
“So far as I am concerned, if you can arrange to room with Eleanor and Aline, it is all right. I don’t think that Marta would care, though it certainly would be a bother, after getting settled. But how about Eleanor’s not liking Madeline?”
“Maybe I can get some other Sig-Ep girl that she does like.”
